Someone please get this fast This is great one, from '86. There are no LEDs and the CTRL scan codes are a bit odd, so you'll need to know how to set up your OS to make this work.

[EDIT]Get it fast so I don't think about it all day and buy it myself [/EDIT]

Nice, but I says US-paypall accounts only. For a Dutch guy (we equal trade and export), this is beyond comprehension. Here, I have these fine flowers for sale. No, you cannot pay normally, it must be done through our preferred leech. What, you're from the US? Bah, only Dutch residents may buy our flowers, go away! Scam! Something like that I guess. Crazy stuff.

Try contacting the seller — I've had exceptions made in the past.

If my memory preserves correct, I didn't need any particular setting to get it work on Win2000.  System booted without a hitch.
According to Kenjin site Latter model of PC XT which sold along with PC ATs after AT released has advanced feature in it's BIOS to recognize both XT and AT keyboard.

After connecting mine and playing with it a bit, Im wondering if both CTRL keys might just be bad on my board... I hope not. Its odd, I'll have to take it apart and see whats going on. Before it would give a strange character sequence in a linux teminal, now its not doing anything...

Well, I moved to my  "room of keyboards".

Pickup up my 1390120 and hooked it to my main PC, fired it upt.
System passed BIOS test and boot Win Xp SP2.
user login screen came up, and i entered p/w ( combination of number and alphabets.)
Now it's working fine. I'm typing this comment on 1390120 right now.
I believe every keys are working just fine.
No problem is found using Ctrl and Alt in each position right and left.
No magic was applied when I connected this board to my system.
BIOS didn't complain keyboard error and such.
XP recognized the board as  usual US 101 keyboard.

andb, isn't your problem relating to Linux ?

Sometimes on boot the comp goes into BIOS, so I expect I have an issue with the board. Ill take it apart on the weekend and see if it can be fixed... Ill first test it under Windows but I doubt that is a factor.
