Only a VT100 with an AVO installed. (For the curious: the Advanced > Video Option board). A VT100 without AVO can do 12 row 132 columns. The AVO board came with a replacement ROM; if anyone is interested, a VT100 with an AVO preinstalled is a VT102. I happen to have a reference manual for a VT102P (VT100+AVO+printer port)... Without an AVO, you got to select between reverse and underline attributes; with AVO, you get revrse, underline, blink, and bold, simultaneously. You also got insert/delete char/line and a bunch of lesser additional ANSI commands. Yes, I'm a geek who spent way too may years writing emulation software for a terminal software company (extra points: what's the difference between a VT130 and a VT131? It's a trick question... 8-)).
