Title: [ENDED] Data General KB (AT connector), $49.95 shipped
Post by: ander on Thu, 05 July 2018, 19:29:34

It's not one of the cherished blue Dashers, but not one I've seen many of. In fact, it looks like it may actually be PC-compatible... And what kind of switches would it have, anyone?

That's the only photo, and no model number's mentioned. BIN $49.95 + free US shipping.

I've now found indications that these may have Futabas (https://deskthority.net/wiki/Futaba_MA_series). So caveat emptor.

I can't say I've seen one of these before.

It's back for 29.95 plus free shipping.  Almost tempting enough to see what is underneath the caps :)
