That DT100 physically looks a lot like a Wyse 950 terminal that I recently acquired, particularly with that custom keyboard connector. I googled a bit and found this comment:

"The DT-100 is really a WYSE 75, that does a reasonable job of ANSI emulation.
Its designer is somewhere in Taiwan." (from https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.sys.tandy/d29HONFYU5A)

That doesn't directly answer your question, but it may be easier to answer "will a (common) Wyse 75 work well as an OS-9 terminal" than "will a Tandy DT100 work well as an OS-9 terminal".
