WY-99GT Display Terminal (obs.) The WY-99GT is the Wyse solution for displaying dazzling graphics and text in one sleek, stylish package. Putting the WY-99GT to work in your computer environment is almost no work at all. For alpha-numeric applications, choose from over a dozen compatible modes including the powerful new WY-99GT native mode (an enhanced WY-50 with hidden attributes), DEC VT-220/100 and PC terminal. For current or future graphics applications, pick from leading graphics standards like Tektronix 4010/ 4014 or even PC-compatible Hercules or IBM Color Graphics Adapter (CGA). When you use the WY-99GT, you'll be impressed with the powerful user-oriented features we've included as standard. Text and graphics are shown with amazing clarity on the large 14-inch amber screen. The touch and feel of each keystroke is smooth and positive. To improve your efficiency, the WY-99GT features user- definable function keys and WyseWorks: a combination calculator, alarm clock, calendar, and ASCII table. Affordable graphics and alpha-numerics. No other terminal offers a more powerful combination of features.
