Title: Black coiled SDL cable.
Post by: czarek on Wed, 28 September 2011, 04:45:05

Hi I'm black coiled SDL cable. As far as I know they only come in AT versions so it would be cool if it included AT->PS2 adapter as well.

A bit of a strange name but hey, why not. :-P

Nice to meet you but do you want an adapter or is it just a suggestion?

Not required but very welcome. Most important is a cable, working and in good condition.

Short, grey, coiled SDL->PS/2 cable that came with NIB IBM Model M Space Saving from 1991. Or cash obviously.
BTW prd have you received my Filco?

Mm, nice keyboard.

After hunting it on eBay, I can't just go ahead and sell it. But I would trade it for some nice Filco keys, if you have.

The Filco did arrive. Sorry I forgot to mention. I've already disassembled it and harvested its innards. I've been using it for a week now and those used brown cherries feel nicer than new ones. We should give each other some ratings.

Feedback left.
Hmmm... I have old Chicony board without the case (just the motherboard + switches + keycaps) which probably works. It's based on white/clear switches which look like Cherry MX and feel almost like MX Blues. Keycaps are badly yellowed though and switches feel is inconsistent, some feel sharp and great, while some are mushy and dull. I was planning to do some modding around this one and Filco but that board is now with you....

No, I don't want it. I would have really loved some Filco caps.

Let me take a look in my coiled cables' secret room and I might just sell it to you. I don't know at this moment if I can offer a PS/2 adapter, too. Let's talk tomorrow.
