I have at least one D200 and a couple of 6053

D200 terminals and one of the 6053 terminals (also called a Dasher D2)
each had one key that did not work last I checked. I would guess that
they suffer from a kind of "key rot" similar to Sol computers.
OK. NOW I GET IT. Blue DG "E.T." head looking terminal. Yeah, that
would probably be a D200.

I'd bet that he's referring to the Data General Dasher D200 terminal.
I have one:

But perhaps a better picture:

The D200 isn't always on ebay, but usually they show up mildly frequently
there and seem to go around $200 to $250.
There was another common terminal on eclipse systems. I'm not sure if it
was
in the Dasher series, but I believe it was called
a "5821". I have one of
these as well.

Lastly, a common combination system console (terminal)/printer that is
VERY
cool looking was the Dasher TP1 and TP2. Mine is
a TP1.
