Title: ibm model m Part NO.1390636
Post by: Biteme294 on Thu, 01 December 2016, 02:39:41

sweet Jesus I accidentally bought this wonky terminal keyboard, is there any way that I can get it working on a modern PC? If not can I get some assistance selling this on? please this is my first time purchasing a good keyboard I don't know how long the old one that my school gave me will last it's pretty nasty.

Or, if you want to do it yourself, you can buy a teensy 2.0 or arduino pro micro, wire it up, and flash the soarer's converter firmware on it yourself. Instructions and files are available here:
