Commodore PC-5 $110 shipped, OBO
« on: Mon, 10 November 2014, 12:52:33 »
I got them down to $89 after I offered $70, but it's still too high for me.  Maybe someone will get an offer they like for it.  It's an old G80 board with MX Blacks and inverted color scheme (still a little different from the beige and cream of other Cherry boards).  The pictures are crap which is why I'm not really willing to offer a ton for it.

Beware, this is a proprietary protocol serial keyboard... so unless you want to hook it up to an old Commodore computer, its probably strictly going to be a collectors showpiece. It's not much good as a source for donor caps since it has such a strange layout.

Seebart@DT told me earlier that his works with just a DIN>PS2 connector..

The later model for PC-10 speaks AT, you can tell them apart on sight as those don't have the 2 1.5 Num Lock/Scroll Lock but 3 1x keys in their place on the numpad section.
