Title: AT&T Buckling Spring Keyboard - PS/2
Post by: Mattr567 on Sat, 06 August 2016, 10:24:21
We've seen this board a couple times but this is one of the first to be seen with a PS/2 plug and not some other weird connection.

It's not.   Some of the ATT variants we've seen have an rj connector with detachable cable which can take a ps/2 cable.

The cable interface is PS/2. I've got the 305b keyboard with the PS/2 connector on the cable and a second 305b keyboard with the alternative connector on the cable. There is a topic where I showed the pin-outs for the other connector.

Why is it so expensive? $1500 USD?

They are including the Unlimited Keystroke Plan with the board.

I thought about hanging that pic up at my workplace, but I don't want to get in trouble.
