AND - they decided to make it work with PCs.   I especially like that part.


The Model F AT has the slotted bolts as well.

As far as IBM is concerned, that's where it all went horribly wrong.

Another reason to not buy one.  I'd have to get a Klein screwdriver.
Stop making up excuses! At this rate, you'll never find some clicky model F goodness.

 Where did you get these tiny magnets ?
I couldn't find them no matter where I searched.

Seems a waste for me to buy 100 magnets and only use one. Maybe I'll try use a Folder hole-punch on a fridge-magnet (the flat type). Shame that Klein makes Imperial magnetic Nut Drivers (no 7/32" either) and their Metric Nut Drivers are non-magnetic. Make you wonder the mentality of these tool makers.

Edit: Found an Ames (http://www.amessupply.com/view.cfm?aid=1&cid=D&sid=DD&fid=1602000&pid=1602000) Magnetic Nut Driver, but not sure if too much depth, no good if the whole nut is hidden within the recess of the Driver, otherwise it'll save time modifying a Klein/etc etc.
