Title: Got myself another Model F
Post by: HaaTa on Tue, 23 March 2010, 08:02:34

Model F XT (http://cgi.ebay.ca/IBM-Clicky-Vintage-XT-Keyboard-83Key_W0QQitemZ370350383483QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPCA_Mice_Trackballs?hash=item563a9a617b)

This one is for parts though. No real interest in making a converter or finding a computer that can actually use it.

I'll be splitting the shift keys on my Model F AT. Perhaps the 0 and + keys on the keypad too. Then I'll have at least two more modifier keys to play with.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to do anything with it until the end of June, when I return to BC.


What's really stupid though, there was only a $5 difference in shipping to BC and ON (35 and 30 something). The places are friggin 4000km apart. Come on, what is that ****!

Wouldn't it make more sense just to swap Model Fs instead?

(You had me confused with "too"; I hear the grammar nazis marching near).

I guess shipping two things back and forth would be pricey.

Lol, except it's in Quebec atm. Doesn't get much farther away than that. :P

If I decide not to add the metal bottom to my AT, sure. I'll be happy to sell/trade off pieces of the board I don't want.


Helps me! There sendsing in nazis grammar?
