No. The VT330 and VT340 have an external cartridhe that plugs into a 
slot in the back, and which holds most of the code. The VT500 series 
also have a cardridge slot, but for those I've never seen any cartridge, 
so that must be some optional thing.
But for the VT330/340 the cartridge is not optional.
