Buy 1 or 2 or make offer for all.

If there are enough people interested.. do a GB and get them even cheaper. The BIN price is great though.

If anybody buys one and decides to replace the top row function keys, I am interested in the caps.

Are you needing F1-F24? I'm perfectly happy to buy one and let you have the f1-24; you can always pay/swap for it by sending Dorkvader a mat for his model F projects.  :thumb:

What's the point of a groupbuy? You spend more on shipping because the price is already so low.

I'm more concerned about:

1) is it only for LYNK terminals, or is it perfectly compatible with other computers?
2) is it easily moddable on a Soarer, or are there weird complications and scancodes to contend with
3) does it have LED lock lights?

I'd be shocked if this is anything other than a straight up rebadged IBM or Lexmark M-122.

Point taken.  Interested in these questions too actually (though I'm pretty sure for 3, there are no lock lights.)

I actually had to ask for a pic of a switch, that's why there's one up now.

Let us know if it's AT or XT or what when you get it.

I hope these fit in the M122 case. I'll get two once other people confirm the quality, and hopefully I'll have some sweet boards to use

Are these bigger than that or something?

Pacifist, I strongly suggest you look at the casing carefully. There are a lot of nearly-similar casings that aren't actually the same measurements. I have several M122s (some by IBM, some Lexmark) and their casings aren't the same. I haven't tried to see if the internals will fit though.

Since Lexmark bought the IBM factory and equipment, there is really no doubt.

However, there are multiple generations of M-122 cases and these are almost certain to be last-generation.

I got mine on Friday at my office and didn't have my DIN to usb thing with me, so I haven't used it yet, but the board I got was very NIB, in great shape, and certainly a M122 copy.  Once I get it plugged in, I'll let everyone know if it is working OK or not.  For $25  its really a great deal.  I'd pay that much for NIB keycaps anyways, to get a complete KB with it is a really great deal.

I  don't think your din to usb thing will work. This is a terminal board, and I'm sure your converter is AT to USB

There's a good chance that it'll work. I believe these are terminal emulator keyboards, so it's a decent bet that an AT to PS/2 passive adapter followed by an active PS/2 to USB adapter will work right away.

So it does NOT work with a standard DIN to PS2 passive and then a PS2 to USB active converter.  Might need a soarer to make it happen...

Did not work with a "normal" active converter.  I'm guessing it will require a hagstroms or soarers converter.
