I don’t think we do. Plan B/C?
Any serial terminal from the same year or a teletype. Bill Degnan twitter: billdeg vintagecomputer.net

Does the museum have a Plessy, ADM, Tektronix or a Televideo, those would be in the same age range as the DG Eclipse. -- Matt Patoray Owner, MSP Productions KD8AMG Amateur Radio Call Sign

I flipped through Google Image Search to get an idea of what might have gone alongside this machine. Absent the really sweet looking Dasher, I'd say anything that's sort of swoopy and curvy and of the times would be appropriate. So seconded on the ADM (preferably in blue to match?) or Tek (nice Battlestar Galactica look there), though even an original DEC VT-50/52 or even a VT-100 have an appropriate shape. The DEC -> DG historical element is a subtle burn too. :) "The kind of serial terminals that would be at home at a disco." -- Jameel Akari
<snip> We ran ADM-3As in 1983 on an MV/10000 when I was at Wilkes College. (Plus a handful of Dashers. They were MUCH better than the 3As!) Tom
I scanned the Dasher 100 / 200 product handout I have, try to find this or something that looks like this. http://vintagecomputer.net/DataGeneral/Dasher/Data-General_Dasher-Terminal.p... -- @ BillDeg: Web: vintagecomputer.net Twitter: @billdeg <https://twitter.com/billdeg> Youtube: @billdeg <https://www.youtube.com/user/billdeg> Unauthorized Bio <http://www.vintagecomputer.net/readme.cfm>

Will probably go with a Tek because I think we have some and we're already showing an ADM with the Altair/IMSAI display.
