AT&T Buckling Spring Keyboard - PS/2
« on: Sat, 06 August 2016, 10:24:21 »
We've seen this board a couple times but this is one of the first to be seen with a PS/2 plug and not some other weird connection.

It's not.   Some of the ATT variants we've seen have an rj connector with detachable cable which can take a ps/2 cable.

The cable interface is PS/2. I've got the 305b keyboard with the PS/2 connector on the cable and a second 305b keyboard with the alternative connector on the cable. There is a topic where I showed the pin-outs for the other connector.

They are including the Unlimited Keystroke Plan with the board.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

I thought about hanging that pic up at my workplace, but I don't want to get in trouble.
