Title: Anyone knows about Vintage Zenith Data Systems?
Post by: berserkfan on Fri, 31 May 2013, 11:38:23

I am just curious about this keyboard. Anyone knows anything? I have the feeling the seller is just putting a random price hoping someone will buy. At a price like this, i will only buy if they have Model F spring technology, hehehh

That board is a little overpriced imo.  I could have sword those speak XT, not AT (but I'm not sure).  It uses green alps (linear...very smooth...force smowhere between mx reds and mx blacks).  If I were you, I'd hold out for a ZKB2-AT  model....not the one you have listed in the OP.

KP Surplus is literally right up the road from me and they do seem to put some pretty random prices on vintage keyboards.

I've got that exact board. DO NOT plug it in via PS/2 like me and fry the controller. :(
