Title: xwhatsit on 84-key F/AT tutorial?
Post by: Mandan on Thu, 03 August 2023, 12:25:13
Is there a tutorial anywhere on doing the xwhatsit conversion on an F/AT capsense board?  I expected there to be at least one, but my search-fu is apparently weak.

If not, does anyone have any tips on desoldering the ribbon cable from the original IBM controller board?  I'd like to save the board if I can.  It looks like it would be easy to desolder with one of those little butane torches, but the board might not survive.

As you might guess, I'm a newbie at this 'soldering' thing.
