I don't think of that as a space unsaver, which is a 122 without the numberpad (a 104).
This is clearly labelled a model C1 keyboard (keyboard for a C1). I was interested in it for a while, because data entry keycaps are less common, and I sort-of wanted some for my buckling spring keyboards.I don't think of that as a space unsaver, which is a 122 without the numberpad (a 104).
ah still sort of a spaceunsaver
its tkl
its a IBM 3178 78 key

"The IBM 3178 was a low cost 3270 terminal based on the design of the 3101 launched in 1983. Much like the 3278, it had an array of different 75-key and 87-key keyboard options, and used the same physical and functional layouts as its beam spring predecessors. The keyboard had no feet, and the 75-key variants used the same size casing as the 87-key ones, but with the right hand keypad area covered over. The label on the back of the keyboards are designated with the model of the terminal that they are intended to be used with - C1 through C4. Part numbers were of the form 56409xx depending on version."
um, no offence intended and not meaning to crap on your thread, but I think we don't need to read a list of what anyone can find himself at recycledgoods' website.
especially because none of these are good deals to begin with.
eg Honeywell going for $89, missing key, no cable, untested (aka, in seller's parlance, doa except seller doesn't want to say it outright). DUH, how are we supposed to make that work? I suppose somebody already has another honeywell with the spare parts? and don't tell me that somebody paid $800 for his honeywell, so $89 is a good deal to him to buy another honeywell for spare parts?
From my recollection, it was an IRC discussion prompted by me that "invented" the "unsaver" term...this was back in 2010 when I was pursuing suppliers of the things.
The term was intended, yes, for the 104-key buckling spring keyboards that are laid out like a tenkeyless 122. There are also Honeywell-manufactured rubber dome keyboards of the same physical layout. The key thing to note is that when this term was originally coined, it was believed that all keyboards described by this term shared the same AT-like protocol of the 122s, but eventually an older version (identical except for controller) was found that currently is considered unusable. That one has D-subs rather than the DIN connector.
This is the original keyboard that had the term applied to it: http://www.recycledgoods.com/product/7720_ibm_1387033_keyboard-for-ibm-3290-terminal
There's your GH history lesson for the day...
