Title: Data General Dasher keyboards on eBay... Five available
Post by: ekeppel on Fri, 10 March 2017, 16:37:07

The buy-it-now price might be a bit high, but it's not outrageous or anything and the starting bid is $90.

The seller's description says he has five of these to sell, so if anyone has been searching for one of these, there seems to be no shortage. :-)

I notice that some of the keys on this keyboard are a different hue (ie. A, S, 7), so they may have been replaced in the past.  Perhaps one of the other 4 boards has more even color across the keys.

And if you're the completist type, here's a cool DG terminal test box (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Data-General-DG-Dasher-terminal-test-box-vintage-/332138650365) to go with it.
