Dolch Space Saver (blue cherries)
« on: Wed, 28 July 2010, 12:13:33 »
Anyone interested? The price seems a bit high:

edit: also, how does build quality on these compare to other expensive blue cherry boards (like a Filco).

They are PCB mounted rather than plate mounted like Filcos, for me that is a plus.

The case is more rugged than a Cherry case is.  And surprisingly stiff and solid for not having a metal plate in it.

Some blue cherry Dolch boards have double shot key caps, but not all do.  I have some blue cherry Dolch boards that dont' have double shots but do have AT connectors.

PAC60's have detachable PS2 cables, some early PAC models have AT cables that connect permanently, others like PAC61-64 have RJ style cables that you will have to make a custom adapter to use on a PS2/AT/USB port.
