Title: IBM 13994428?
Post by: Aran.E99 on Tue, 26 July 2016, 11:34:15

hi guys,

i'd like to know if anyone knows about an IBM Model M 13994428. it was made in 1993, has no lock lights and has the blue logo in the left corner. I can't seem to find anything about it. the closest keyboard i can find is the 1395665. any info would be great i.e. what type of switches it uses and what system it ran off (probably a terminal)

Sure you don't mean 1394428, a terminal board?

It says right in the link it's a Buckling Spring board and it should work with a teensy yes. Terminals are generally cheaper than regular Ms.
