	They are simply different revisions of the ROMs. The newer
Wyse 60's have vt100 mode. But I have the impression that there are
a fair number of the older Wyse 60's, both in end-user hands and sitting
in distributor's warehouses. But I do think that even the original ads
for the Wyse 60 stated they were ANSI terminals. I know that our first
shipment had some of the older ROMs, and we held out for the distributor
to upgrade them.
