*NEW* Unicomp-branded Model M mini is HERE!!!
iMav:
Pics to follow shortly. But this is the EXACT same keyboard as the original IBM Model M 84-key space saver...right down to the color scheme, removable keycaps, and those great buckling springs!!
This thing is a dream to type on. And was only $69 (shipping included)...as opposed to$125 + shipping for a 20 year old one from clickykeyboards. THANK YOU UNICOMP!!!

So it's Unicomp branded, huh? Is it new or did they slap a sticker on a refurb IBM?

Well, there is no Unicomp logo...in fact there is no logo at all. There is a "blank" where the IBM logo used to go. This IS the original 84-key space saver Model M manufactured new. In fact (I just noticed this), the "birth certificate" on the back says it was assembled Aug 28, 2007. It was assembled FOR ME!! :)

that is pretty pimpin', dude. I am kind of jealous now.

What kind of connector is it? PS/2 I'm guessing. But is the cord fixed in the back or is there a plug like my 1988 Model M has?
