Terminal Model F. Consult Kishy. Might be AT-compatible (i.e. you can adapt it to PS/2 very easily). Nice find.

Yup it is AT compatible... PS/2 adapter is on the way...

Consult Kishy? what the heck does that mean?

Yeah, I'm here.

Lookit my signature. It's highly relevant.

It is AT compatible, but you won't be plugging it in to an AT adapter. The plug is specific to IBM terminals.


Shoot... Well let me read through your sig... :)

That particular keyboard was designed to be hooked up to one of these. A very nice find indeed, alot of the ones you see on eBay are missing keycaps.

The Charles Bronson method would be much preferred.  Blood on keys might be a bit hard to remove.
