Unicomp Terminal Emulator Keyboard?
« on: Thu, 26 July 2012, 02:08:21 »

Found this ebay auction somewhat odd. They're very cheap. Maybe it's a great deal or maybe it's too good to be true. I am not sure.

$29 BIN with free shipping to boot.

Seems legit, these things are not desirable outside of a small circle of geekhackers and the like.  FWIW, I suspect that these may exist in rubber dome as well as buckling spring versions.  At least, I recently visited a Holland & Barrett shop (famed for their use of Unicomp keyboards) and saw a board like that but it didn't have the familiar click.

Thanks for telling us.

Otherwise, it is almost worth buying just for the clean fresh keys and springs.
From the US Constitution, Article 1, Section 8 :

The   Congress   shall have Power
To declare War,  grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
To provide for calling forth the Militia  to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

I asked, and was told the opposite. I also asked Unicomp directly and they weren't sure.

Go figure, I guess no-one knows.
