Anyone feeling froggy? Or just like they need to round out their collection? $20 BIN, includes shipping in CONUS.

great find :D

i'd almost consider buying one just for the text-less tab, backspace, shift, and caps lock keys :)

Ohes noes, don't rip these guys apart! Build an adapter! If I hadn't got my crosshairs on a Model F right now I'd snap one up, except the Model F is slightly more appealing for me.

One of these days I want to get a Model F terminal keyboard and adapt that over to one of my desktops.

I was thinking about getting a terminal keyboard, but I am too lazy to build an adapter.

If you follow the "technique" I followed, it's a cord swap rather than adapter build.

ok thanks, I might think about getting one sometime

Yeah, the cord swap was easy enough, the driver is what kicked my ass...

Kishy: do you have a version of your driver for WinXP?
