Pointers for buying a Model M (terminal) to USB (or BT) adapter

[aleza84]

Hey

I got a mint Model M (terminal) keyboard, I decided to buy the connector instead of building it, I am looking for UBS o Bluetooth.

Any pointers where can I buy em? (I already tried tinkerboy, but keep getting errors on paypal).

Thanks!

What Model M number is it?
The most pain-free way to do it is to swap controllers. A 5.5 mm deep socket does the job. You take out the existing controller and replace it with a 1391401 controller in which you can order from Unicomp as well.
Then you can use an SDL to USB cable which will cost you some money or get a SDL to PS/2 cable from Unicomp.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

If you buy the cable from Orihalcon here on the forum rather than going through ebay I think he gives you a discount.

Great, let me check it out, do you know if he does international shipping??

In the menu bar is "Messages"

From there you can send him a private message. Do not worry if he does not reply immediately.

*Sigh.* Nothing more to say.
