I find the cord more interesting than the keyboard.
A) you'd think a keyboard that new wouldn't ship with an AT connector.
B) AT connectors (that I've seen) were all black.

So even if I were to assume that's not the original cable, it [should] be black if it was pulled from a 1985/87 Model M.

Why does the description say it's for a PC/XT?

They probably mistook the connector for being XT.

DIN connectors were used for AT/XT, as well as loads of other devices. So it's just AT. But you can easily change the cord to a PS/2 one.

Congrats to the seller indeed.
Lexy labelled ones aren't as common as IBM labelled ones maybe?

This is the first lexmark one I have seen in the last 4+ months of looking on eBay so they seem pretty rare for sure.

Hopefully it does in fact work though since it wasn't tested.

It was tested and cleaned after the auction went up- so it is a working keyboard.  It is the first lexmark labeled mini I have ever seen.  Did anyone here get it?

Ah...missed that.

In the end, it seems to be a bit higher than they have been selling for, but it is a rare model. I don't like having the Lexmark logo on it though.

Congrats.

Sam will be sure to report that prices are falling but it sure doesn't look that way to me.  (No supply/demand curve.  Sorry, yelling not allowed).

Well, that was a special board, so it's understandable that it sold for a higher price.  Saw a common SSK that went unsold on ebay for $150.  So I still say prices are currently depressed.  I don't however expect the prices to stay depressed for long.  The dip in prices I believe was a natural consequence of a glut of boards over the slow summer season.  With not so many boards available and heading towards the Christmas season, I'd expect prices to recover.
