ISO: Keyboard for Intecolor 2400 terminal

2019-09-19 Thread Josh Dersch via cctalk
Picked up an Intecolor 2400 terminal awhile back; it's a nice VT100-compatible terminal with color enhancements. Unfortunately it's missing the detachable keyboard. Probably a longshot, but anyone have one of these lying around? Thanks, Josh

There are several Univac commercials in the archive.org video library. I like the one that talks about he Univac "memory tank", which, it really was. The curious thing was that Remington Rand ran commercials not only for UNIVAC computers, but also for shavers and typewriters. --Chuck
