Title: Very nice 1390131 with box....

Don't see good 131s around often....

The buckling spring purists should like it.  Though, personally, I prefer the lighter feel of a unicomp :o

Is it possible to use a PS/2 cable inside of the included one? I rather not have XT > PS/2 > USB convertor.

That's an AT cable it comes with, not XT.  Anyway, yes, any ibm sdl cable will work in it fine.

Look for at to ps/2 or din 5 to mini din 6 for adapters. I just got a set of 10 on ebay for $5 plus $3 shipping.

I can confirm you will have no problems using an AT-PS2 converter and a ps2-USB adapter, had no problems at all with my 1390133 (german layout 131).
Also, I can send you an at-ps2 adapter for the price of shipping if you are interested.
