Title: SGI AT-101 $42 + shipping
Post by: nubbinator on Sat, 06 June 2015, 00:50:41: Should have PBT caps and Black Alps. The cheapest I have ever seen one of these boards since they're usually auctioned.

Did anyone happen to catch whether this was an AT or SGI protocol one?

That should have dampened Cream Alps. Maybe you were thinking Dell AT101?

Huh? The listing says it's PS/2.

I don't know if the SGI protocol one uses a connector that's not PS/2 Oo .
