IBM made 52G9658
« on: Tue, 30 October 2018, 11:53:00 »
Hello
i would like to know about IBM modem M (52G9658):
1- beside the fact that it has permanently attached flat cable; any known issues about this keyboard?
2-how is it when in term of build-quality when compared to 1391401 units ?
3- 2-how is it when in term of build-quality when compared to Unicomp units ?
4- in general does feel cheaper than other model m units?

thanks

It's similar to any of the later year M's, lighter backplate, but a solid board.  Better construction than a Unicomp board.

You can get a replacement cable from Unicomp if needed.

It's the slow version of the Model M. Uses 56k robber domes.

Are you sure about that? I thought that rubber dome Ms and M2 model numbers started with "7"

“Any split that is higher than 5%,” the letter states, “will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”"

Whatever you're trying to say here is wrong.   It's a buckling spring model.
