I was browsing the zfrontier sales site and saw a retro keyboard for sale that looked like a vintage keyboard.
Unfamiliar layout, too long space bar.
This keyboard, the DASCOM DAS 320 Terminal Mechanical Keyboard, looks like a real vintage keyboard.
A-stock items without package tears are $220.00 and B-stock items with package tears are $210.00.
I looked up the WYSE OEM model and found that the original purpose of this keyboard seems to be to operate a business terminal, not for PC use.
What is WYSE?
- WYSE (Wyse Technology) was an American manufacturer founded in the 1970s, primarily producing terminals (thin clients).
- Typical terminals were the Wyse 50, Wyse 60, Wyse 150, and Wyse 320, which were used to connect to mainframes and UNIX workstations of the day.
- The supplied keyboard had WYSE’s own layout and was manufactured by a manufacturer (DASCOM, NMB, etc.) that was an OEM supplier.
Naturally, it does not appear to be possible to connect directly to modern keyboards.
However, there was a caveat.
What a surprise, a VIA-compatible conversion adapter will be available soon.
If you want to use it with your current computer, this means that you first need to purchase the main unit and then this separately sold adapter.
Keyswitches are probably vintage black switches by Cherry.
The key profile is a DCS profile, and the keycaps are a gorgeous double shot.
It can be displayed as a collection or used with a bed adapter.
