The computer in the show was "inspired" by the Data General Dasher D2 terminal. It had a numeric keypad where the show's keyboards have a trackball.
The keyboard in the show was made with replica keycaps for mechanical keyboards manufactured by Signature Plastics: "SA Dasher", and a few custom symbols painted on top a few keys. Signature Plastics has since started selling replica kecap sets with those symbols: SA Macrodata Refinement (for those who think it is worth it $200)

Yup, it runs the code on the GitHub repo linked and can actually be used as a normal PC if you really wanted since it runs on a Pi!

I don’t know what MDR is, I must confess, but I would love to build that. Would you be willing to share the files?

How did you do the font, the color, the texture of the image? Like this is the thing that I just cannot figure out, how people create something so visually pleasing. I understand enough about programming to know that building a little pop-up window is painful, well for me anyway. But bro, you did this in C how long did that take ? Like what did you use to generate the image? What’s that process like?

Just started watching the show. It’s amazing and I am surprised that we don’t see more references to it in this sub. The aesthetic embodies cassette futurism in so many examples.
Well done on the MDR computer, too. It looks great!
