At Rosen's furniture outlet in East Stroudsberg PA.

Lots of ANSI DG terminals throughout the store, but in the back corner of the store there was a bonafide DG Dasher terminal. Not a keyboard to be found though.

It drives my wife nuts when I see these things out like that. I spent 20 minutes looking at the various I/O on that thing.

Do you know which model? There were a lot of different pieces of equipment they referred to as "Dasher". I've got tons of DG stuff in storage, trying to decide what to do with all of it...

It was very similar to one of these:

Keyboard connector was 9 pin female. Had a slide switch to select DG or ANSI character set.

Oh, yes...very nice terminals. We've got lots of units in this series hanging around. DG made great hardware, back in the day...
