IBM Model M ansi2iso
« on: Sat, 10 November 2012, 08:12:14 »
I know this mod has been done before. But I can't find any pictures, tutorials or something like that.

Does anybody have some information for me?


Thanks

You'll need some ISO keycaps ofcourse, but all you need to do is bolt mod it, and move a few springs/hammers over to the proper locations when it's open.

I think that's all there is to it, cause IBM saved money by going with an ANSI/ISO cotnroller and membrane, if I recall correctly.

If you need more info about the bolt mod, just ask, and I (Or someone else) can fill you in.
