They were Consul 980's.  I believe that there were some models in the
Consul series that supported lower case, but hey, who cares.  It's
just a prop, right?  In fact, it's probably one of the better props,
since it has (had?  naa, there must be one still around) a bright
orange (cherry) keyboard, and a black character on white screen
background.  Pretty, on TV.

Incidentally, the Consul series was all TTL, and supported several
baud rates including 'A' and 'B'.  If you didn't like the choices, you
could tune your own, with a frequency counter and a screwdriver.
