Title: PS/2 Unisys with SDL connector
Post by: didjamatic on Sun, 30 May 2010, 20:37:26

$5 BIN/OFFER (http://cgi.ebay.com/UNISYS-TERMINAL-KEYBOARD-PCK101-KBD-/350350213307?cmd=ViewItem&pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item51928000bb#ht_500wt_785)  I don't know what it is.  I read here (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?t=5692) that it's a rubber dome keytronic, but don't know.  You can see back label it's a TUV, not keytronic.

TUV is a certification logo, not a brand. Case looks mildly like newer KeyTronic keyboards.

I used to work in an all-Unisys IT shop in the '80s and '90s and I never saw a Unisys branded PS/2 keyboard with mechanical switches so I'm gonna guess rubber dome.

There were also Honeywell branded rubber dome boards with detachable SDL cables, I think I still have one of those.

It says "made in japan" so neither IBM nor lexmark made it.

HP, Compaq and others used SDL cables on their rubber dome keyboards. Nothing to see here folks.

The same as this one (http://cgi.ebay.com/LITE-ON-SK-3001-Clicky-Keyboard-Mechanical-Switches-/120528729192?cmd=ViewItem&pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item1c10127468), I'd say...

If anyone's getting that keyboard they should get a matching monitor (http://cgi.ebay.com/Unisys-VDC-1VGA-14-VGA-640x480-Monitor-/350358437223?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Computer_Monitors&hash=item5192fd7d67).

I pulled a Unisys system out of a skip many many moons ago, had a Pentium and a 1GB SCSI hard drive IIRC.
