Alps good find but maybe not great
« on: Sat, 19 October 2019, 08:19:24 »
My favorite keyboard after the 122-key Model F, appears to be in excellent condition with little or no yellowing. I would say that the price is quite fair.

“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.”"

Cool find. Might go for it later if it’s still available.

Thanks. What's a reliable method to convert that cable to USB. Does a simple off the shelf PS/2 converter work?

Yes, and you could also buy a male-to-male mini-DIN 6 cable to eliminate an adapter.

But be careful, some "PS/2" cables are made for mice and lack enough wires inside, even though it looks like they have the right pins from the outside. That is what I do with Northgates because I loathe coiled cables.
