Title: Anyone got a WYSE WY85 KB, p/n 840105-01 ?
Post by: Soarer on Fri, 29 November 2013, 07:41:26

A little help, please!

I'm looking for a pic of the PCB showing the chips to help in my research (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=51079.0).

Failing that, the part number printed on the PCB (probably something like 99xxxx-xx).

Reason being that I've got a keyboard here with the WY85 layout, but the components on the PCB aren't what I expected, and it's lost its part number label from the back of the case!

Quite surprised I haven't been able to find a pic by searching - the WY85 Gate Array (840366-01) seems to be more common.

I just bought a brand new one for $10 from my local electronics scrap store, I could disassemble and post photos by tonight if that would help:

My model is 840358-01 Wyse RJ11 connector, it's a beautiful keyboard, really solid, all double shot and Cherry MX Blacks.

If anyone in the Toronto area wants one I think there were a couple more buries behind some boxes, for those interested PM me and I'll give directions.

Ah, thanks, but it's specifically 840105-01 that I need to verify :thumb:

They are nice solid keyboards, aren't they! Plate-mounted, and screwed together with inserts in the case (well, except for the 285, whcih mostly just clips together).
