Data General Dasher Terminal Refurb With UsagiElectric!
Added 2025-02-22 03:35:55 +0000 UTCHello!
Alright, it finally happened. A Data General device has actually been brought back to life on my channel! And with the help of the incredible Usagi Electric!
Seriously though, we tore into this thing on a mission in the stream I announced over a week ago and it went fantastically! This is an edit of the stream and while I know that's not everyone's cup of tea, trust me this one WORKED. I don't think this would have been anywhere near as good if it wasn't live.
This isn't the end of this adventure from the stream, we got the terminal done very fast and turned out attention to something else...which if you saw the stream, it was the microNOVA. I'm still editing that part of the stream into a video and I'm not sure that part of the story is done quite yet.
I have more to say about the DG stuff but I want to get into that after the live stream edits are done. I will say though, I've added a few more things to the ancient playlist for them.

I much enjoyed the atmosphere in this video. You definitely got the 'we are two buddies figuring out this piece of equipment' vibe across, making me feel part of your adventure of discovery. It takes me back to memories of me and my friends hauling devices in left and right, opening them up to see if we could get them working. Really loved the cliffhanger at the end, got my expectations way up there!

Also great to witness the first 2-player speedrun of a foam and foil keyboard repair! I’m looking forward to the next installment. Note: @11:21 typo of “ how hard the cap cap is working to reform” ?
