... definitely not as interesting as the Jupiter keyboard, whatever it is - but would
love to know what 'dejag' and 'vern' mean, and what its possible purpose
was. I popped the case open and the
internals are unremarkable - just an 8048 and misc support TTL. Most recent IC dates were
38 of 1983.
I was mistaken, it is an AED keyboard for the "Colorware" generation of AED 767
Dejag enables antialiasing of vectors. It's a kludge that steals portions of the 256
entry color lookup table
Vern is Vernier, simulation of the joystick with cursor keys, from memory.
It's a Keytronic serial kb.
