Thanks, Al! Given how often keyboards seem to get lost while the rest of
the hardware survives, it's here if anyone ever needs it.

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. I gave my Jupiter 7 away to "Richard"
through this list in 2012. if he
still has it, maybe he could take pictures so you could compare what you've
got. Or, post a picture, and I'll see if it looks like a Jupiter.

... 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.
