Did anybody bid on the Space Saver in Germany?
« on: Tue, 21 April 2009, 08:14:21 »
This one:

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320360509601

Ended early by seller.

If someone here was the high bidder until then, it might be your board:

I contacted the seller. He was neither sure if it is clicky or not and the part number on the box and board was supposedly ACK-700. That points more to a Acekey POS Spacesaver board than an actual IBM.

I contacted him too because he said it had German layout but the pic was English/ISO. However, he said the pic shows it all. The Seller wasn't the clickiest key on the 'board though. I'm sure it is like you said.

This would have been the first German Space Saver ever.

Did you find any pics of the Ace Key board?

For those reading here: Current bid was Euro 5,73 with less than a day to go when the auction was cancelled.

Found it:



This is the auction pic:



Seller has to work on his pattern recognition.

I was watching that auction just to see what would happen with it.  Didn't see this coming...  That'd be such an extraordinary "stock picture" incident I find it hard to believe that's what it was.  AFAIK a M 84 Tasatur would be a user conversion, Special Bid or just very obscure.

I would imagine that's why the auction was cancelled.

I also saw the auction, contacted him and asked if he knew the part number and/or could send pictures of the box and label.
To his credit, I think he was utterly clueless; the box is just a plain white box with "Space-Saver // enhanced keyboard for IBM or compatible computers" written on it and the keyboard inside reminds me of a G80-1800.

I wonder what it would have gone for if it had been a real German Space Saver, though.
