An interesting KB came in at the nonprofit PC recyclers where I volunteer now and then. It's a Memorex Telex 205946-001 with an AT connector. I did some research and found there was a M/T computer with that number too, but I couldn't find any details about it.
I don't know if this is anything special, but here are some photos just to be geeky. It looks unused. The base and black back plate are steel, so even though it's a relatively compact board it's pretty heavy.
Anyone know what these switches are? They're linear, very smooth, quiet and even, rather like Topres with a shorter travel.
Rather than ridges, the F and J have a small flat area in the middle, which is kind of cool.
I tried it on a PC with an active USB convertor and on PS/2, but no dice. Can the DIP switches be set differently? Or would it require a controller replacement, midnight sacrifices of farm animals, etc., to get it working? – A.
