Oops. Specs for Unicomp/Model M screws?
« on: Fri, 26 March 2010, 20:14:21 »

Ducktape, oh, where art thou!

Call unicomp and ask them.

Or, bring the keyboard to a hardware store and do the old "trial and error" until you find one that fits.

mmm duct tape.



PS. Duct tape, not duck tape.



Electrical tape is fine, too.

I trolled Geekhack and all I got was an eponymous SPOS.

Yikes.

You know that pain when you rip off a bandage off your arm? Now think your genitals, and duct-tape...

You picked some fine display examples ricercar.  Well done.

Quick question, though.  Why do you have all those various tape pics?  Some weird fetish?
