RCA's VP 3000 Interactive Data Terminals were a family of portable computer terminals housed in compact keyboard-like cases, but notable for their use of a color-coded membrane keyboard.
The systems supported color output to a television with 20 and 40 character-per-line modes, and an optional built-in modem.
Although some marketing material was produced in 1979,[1] and RCA suggested it would be available "some time next year" at a price around $400,[2] the VIP II was never released.
The main model, the VP 3501 included a 300 bit/s modem, an RF modulator for connection to any conventional color television, and the keyboard included a 16-key numeric keypad.
[3] RCA also sold the systems as stand-alone keyboards as the VP 600 series.
