SGI AT-101 $42 + shipping
« on: Sat, 06 June 2015, 00:50:41 »
Should have PBT caps and Black Alps.  The cheapest I have ever seen one of these boards since they're usually auctioned.

Aaaaaand it's gone xD . That was pretty quick :p . Excellent price though, these tend to go for a lot more.

Did anyone happen to catch whether this was an AT or SGI protocol one?

That should have dampened Cream Alps.  Maybe you were thinking Dell AT101?

Huh?  The listing says it's PS/2.

There are instances of this keyboard appearing with Black Alps.

I don't know if the SGI protocol one uses a connector that's not PS/2 Oo .

It does use the same plug, but the pinout is different.  Apparently it uses a single plug for keyboard and mouse and uses eight volts (why?!)

The listing says they tested it. If it were the other it would have either not worked or various amounts of frying may have happened.
