Title: Can You ID These?
Post by: SCTony on Thu, 05 November 2009, 06:18:20

Not a very good picture to go on- 5 used  keyboards.  http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300363544844&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300363544844&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123)

I sent a question in to the seller to get the model numbers.

Well, apparently, they're DOS keyboards.  These won't work on non-DOS systems.
 
I bet microsoft windows could use these on his 3.1 box.

And there's no such thing as a keyboard that can only be used in DOS, assuming we're referring to actual MS-DOS

True dat.  I was making fun of the auction.

I'll give it a shot:

Top right: Looks like a Monterey K104 or something.
Middle right: Chicony KB-5311 rubber dome.
Bottom: Unsure. Looks kinda cheap and appears to be curved but could be mechanical nonetheless (seen these keycaps somewhere...).
Top left: Looks quite mechanical.
Middle left: That AT board doesn't look like an IBM. Maybe a BTC or Chicony or whatever.
