NC Bound is a reputable seller.

I am surprised that this is not gone.

Maybe everybody with money blew it all in that bubble a few months ago.

This looks so awesome, wish I had the $$$. Keycaps look almost new.

Also, this might not be the right thread to be asking, but did IBM ever put Windows keys on the Model M, or did that only start happening later in the Lexmark days?

Way later, in the Unicomp era.

I bought from him ages ago, very prompt and honest about what he is selling.  I wish more sellers were like him.

Pity I have gone off IBM these days, I suppose the lure of MX is just too great.........  :(

He has a few other keyboards too, AT101W for $25, couple of Wyse boards.

And this little curiosity!
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
