Alright, so the 2100 is programmable, the 2551 is not, but what is the 2550?


Seller says there are 24 keys programmable. If 2100 is fully programmable that would make sense. Also 2100 has got some extra keys around the cursor keys.

This keyboard reminds me of a G80-2100, which is most presumably stuck in snow somewhere between the outer-edge of France and local post office:-\

I hope that guy packed my precious baby properly.

I particularly like the seller's answer to the question about international shipping... :)

The kb is on ebay again. (I know, I was outbid :) )
Is the same seller? or the person who bought it selling it again for profit?

2100 is only programmable on the extra keys. Programming is done using the Cherry key which is near the cursor cluster.. I would be careful bidding on this. If its not possible to program it directly on hardware level (due to the missing Cherry key), you better start setting up a DOS 6.22 box now since none of the software for these boards is compatible with Windows 98 and above.

Judging only by the looks of it this seems to be only the normal Terminal emulator board with no programming features. But I am not sure, since I have not heard of this model number before. Just a word of advice.

Update: Yeah, what am i smoking. I went through my excel list of my collection. I have this board at home. Its the Terminal emulator board, definitely should not be programmable, unless its a hidden feature with the ancient DOS software.

Programmable ones are G80-2100 and G80-2000.
Terminal emulator ones are G80-2500, G80-2550 and G80-2551
