AND - they decided to make it work with PCs.   I especially like that part.


The Model F AT has the slotted bolts as well.

As far as IBM is concerned, that's where it all went horribly wrong.

Another reason to not buy one.  I'd have to get a Klein screwdriver.
Stop making up excuses! At this rate, you'll never find some clicky model F goodness.

 Where did you get these tiny magnets ?
I couldn't find them no matter where I searched.

Seems a waste for me to buy 100 magnets and only use one. Maybe I'll try use a Folder hole-punch on a fridge-magnet (the flat type). Shame that Klein makes Imperial magnetic Nut Drivers (no 7/32" either) and their Metric Nut Drivers are non-magnetic. Make you wonder the mentality of these tool makers.

Edit: Found an Ames Magnetic Nut Driver, but not sure if too much depth, no good if the whole nut is hidden within the recess of the Driver, otherwise it'll save time modifying a Klein/etc etc.
