One of the things that is interesting about the home vintage computers is how there were these vinyl dust covers made for them. This is something that has been lost over time.
Vinyl dust covers in the collection:
- Atari 400
- Atari 800
- Atari 410 (tape drive)
- Atari 810 (disk drive)
- Texas Instrument (TI-99)
- Amiga (one of the rare – non 8-bit dust covers)
- IBM Monitor
I seem to remember the Atari dust covers being brown, while the Commodore line of computers (Vic 20, C64, Amiga) had white covers.
I wonder if these were actually made by Atari or Commodore or whether they were all manufactured by a third party.
It would be interesting to get the Vic 20, C64 and Apple II dust covers into the collection.
I do have one plastic cover for a Compaq PS2 keyboard — we would use these in the ICU in the hospital to prevent against infection control.
