I'm gauging interest for an umodded IBM Model AT F tour. The tour is happening....please confirm your participation here (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=42802.msg867659#msg867659).
Only members who have 250+ posts and I deem trustworthy are allowed to participate (why...because it's my board and ain't no one gonna run off with it! :p). This board uses an AT cable (so I will be including an AT to PS/2 converter on this tour).
Terms of the tour:
-You get one week with the board...then you must mail it (with tracking) on to the next individual on the list.
-You must post a review of the board.
-Tour is CONUS only.

Please let me know whether you want to test the AT F with the stock space bar (heavy) or modded spacebar (light)
Those who have expressed interest (i.e. possible tour participants):
-The_Beast (modified spacebar)
-Dante (stock spacebar)
-CPT BadAss (stock spacebar)
-mashby (stock spacebar)
-boost
-bazemk1979
-hashbaz
-Burz
-jdcarpe (stock spacebar)

You should include one on the tour. I need to get a converter for my F-122.

Sure, about how much would shipping be?

USPS Priority flat rate in a game board box is $15.
I'll be including an adapter if this board goes out on tour.

Double score. So it should work with any modern PC (that has a PS2)?
If so, add me pls!

Flat Rate game board is more like $19 something now, I believe.

Yeah....I will include an AT to PS/2 adapter and a PS/2 to USB converter...so the board will work with any computer that has a USB port.
This is just an interest check for right now. If I can get 10 or so people to say they are interested then I will create a thread for the actual tour. But yeah man...Model F clicky goodness y'all (said in a Paula Deen voice).

$16.85 if you pay at the post office. $15 and change if you pay online.

I'm interested. I don't have 300+ posts but I returned your AT101 so hopefully that counts for something :D
I would also be interested in a Zenith Green Alps tour. I think I'd like it but I need more time with it.
-
I'm in. You know I'm good for it since you Dell AT101 survived :P

Ok...I modified the terms of the tour. You qualify now. The goal of the terms is to prohibit those who I don't trust or don't feel like I can trust from taking part in the tour. I just do not want someone running off with the board or disappearing with it for a month. It is a rather rare board.
-
Yes please!

How does dante not have 300 posts yet?

Idk lol...but he's been around for forever and I know he isn't going to run off with the board...so he's in.

There are some people who only say something when they have something good/important to say.

Very tempting, might be down for this.
-
Hey Akimbo I would like to give this board a try, if I like it I might have to snatch one of from ebay, but would be nice to try it out :)
-
I'm down.
-
I'm kind of tempted to compare it against the Quiet Pro I'll hopefully have within the next month. I could block my ears and try to judge how they feel :)
I used Fs every day for years in the 80s. I didn't like them then for some reason (maybe it was noise) and haven't used one in over 20 years. The Leading Edge and Compaq keyboards seemed much nicer.
-
Ok....so it looks like we have enough interest to go forward with the tour. Before I create the official tour thread, I want everyone's input. Would you rather test the AT F stock (with its very heavy spacebar) or have me mod the spacebar to be lighter (more akin to the actuation force required on modern keyboards)?
-
I vote for default. ;D
-
Default as well please :D

As someone once said: This is Geek Hack not Lazy Pu$$y.
Default.
