Title: model f xts of interest to the population
Post by: berserkfan on Fri, 20 December 2013, 05:11:32
OK here are a couple that are worth thinking about:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-1501100-83-Key-Vintage-AT-XT-Clicky-Keyboard/201003079529?_trksid=p5713.m2061&_trkparms=aid%3D333008%26algo%3DRIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D358%26meid%3D3529415654352865095%26pid%3D100041%26prg%3D1188%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D9%26sd%3D321268058073%26

under $27 shipped, comes with (shabby looking but original) box

Nearly $60 shipped, but comes with custom covers for the plug and the keyboard. Looks darn good. I wish I had one myself!

don't worry, all good geekhackers own teensies (or biphiphanies). If you're not owning one, you're a naughty geekhacker and should get coal-black blank keycaps for your Christmas stocking.

You can get hardware that runs soarer's converter code for like $5, last time I checked.

It doesn't have to be a teensy.

Someone told me you were giving out coal black blanks? Are these PBT or ABS?

j/k :)
