IIRC, they were some of the cheapest terminals available in the mid-
70's. By 1980, they were be ditched pretty fast--they were just too
strange (hex 7e escape ccode really did it). The keyboard was
terrible.
I'm not surprised that not many survived. When the cheap-but-not-bad
terminals like the Wyse 50 came out, keeping a dinosaur like a 1400
just made no sense at all.
Cheers,
