I really don't know anything about this one. How hard would it be to use such a thing on a current computer?

It will not connect, but just go for it!
BTW: Interesting color scheme for Round 4!

It is already on my list. Someone must grab that keyboard as a refecence!
Modifiers in grey, normal keys in white, cursor keys in black.
It will be the HONEYWELL kit!

... round 4?
Also, it's a 25-pin serial, so would a generic serial port adapter work? I saw one that was that to USB and it said it just made an extra COM port exist in windows. But I don't know if newer windows versions would expect to talk to a keyboard that way.

You must see this as a collectible item. If it where located in Europe, I would go for it!
If it does not work with your PC, the PC is to be blamed! Get a Honywell mainframe computer from 1970s instead and beat MW in the instance!

Looks interesting. Unfortunately no shipping to Canada or I would have put a bid in.
And the seller is called 'duckiepoo10'. Would be a good username for a geekhacker who likes both Ducky and Noppoo!

Ask the seller, maybe he ships to Canada, but has just forgotten to put it on the list.

I get enough funny looks as it is just having a bunch of different usable keyboards to begin with. I'm not gonna start getting unusable stuff just because.
It seems a bit silly to not ship to even canada, especially from New York. Edit: dude won't even ship to alaska, and canada is specifically called out on the no go list.

Well it's pretty clear: "No international buyers. This includes Canada and APO/FPO addresses". Oh well, I'm buying too many keyboards anyway. I'll let someone else bid on this one.

But this keyboard must be secured for the GeekHack community!!!
We need it as a reference for the color scheme for Round 4.

Looks like someone finally bid on it.
