I've got a pair of working Reuters boards, circuit diagram, and somewhere a
partially annotated ROM dump from them. They had an Econet built in, as well
as a facility for video overlay, I think.

There was also, (though I missed one by a few days), a terminal for
'Interflora' that I think may have been Electron based.

I think BBC Radio had a master based system, possibly for cues or logging.

"Erasure" used one on stage with a MIDI interface.
