Title: BON - Italian Unicomp with interesting keys.

Rather interesting item - a Unicomp customizer with an original IBM-style label, yellow "Stop" key, a Green "Start" key, and keycaps with Italian markings (including a Caps Lock key with a padlock on it)

Oh, and folks, can we please keep the retardation that has permeated every Brian O' Neill related discussion out of this thread?

Contrary to what he's stated in an answer to a buyer, those will work on PS/2 (but since they're rubber dome they aren't worth it).

Some googling reveals 3153 compatibility which means cord and driver swap gets you functionality.

Brian sure has a lot of neat keyboards. Too bad he charges clickykeyboards.com prices without their quality of support.
