PC-8801mk2 Blue Alps sighting
« on: Tue, 03 May 2016, 18:09:06 »
Before F10-12 right? This find led me to the PC-6001MKII computer, I had no idea that datassettes were so popular but I guess that wouldn't surprise you folks on the Eastern Hemisphere. Seems like a nice price for blue alps/small form factor. I guess it has been converted to usb as well? “Usb Modding, Working, Rare”

Edit - The sound doesn't seem right to me

The title of the video mentions futaba? They sound more slappy than clicky.

If you live in AZ you can try my keyboards. I usually keep plenty of different ALPS and MX and buckling springs.

Lol, no way that's blue Alps. They sound tinny. Like Magna said, I suspect Futabas.

They sound like buckling springs when I don't seat them properly and lose the click.
