Seems I bought me a Space Saver

People told stories about soaring prices for space savers so I thought I had no chance to win this one. But that's what happened, and it even has funky wordstar keycaps! I'll be happy to replace my defunct Unicomp with this one.

Nice buy. I love the Ctrl, Alt and Backspace keycaps on those things.

It's actually a Displaywrite keyboard (mainframe and possibly PC version of the Displaywriter software) as opposed to Wordstar. IBM also had Wordperfect keyboards -

There's been three space savers on eBay this week. I thought this one was the mot interesting because of the keys and the manufacture date.

DisplayWrite word processor commands key labels, hat keys. Pretty cool, likely not many of them produced so rare.  Congrats.
