IBM Model F 122 key terminal with XT interface and Teensy 2.0 USB adapter.
« on: Tue, 27 September 2011, 05:20:39 »
As in title. I want to get rid of this behemoth. It has some weird labels on special keys - apart from some weird ISO / ANSI layout mixture. The weird thing about it is that this keyboard works with IBM PC XT and Soarer's adapter picks it up as an XT board. I think it only adds to collector's value of this board. It has been cleaned and looks almost like new. Has few very minor tears here and there but that's unavoidable with Model Fs. There are no scratches or cracks anywhere (which is very rare with Model F terminals) on plastic parts. There are few scratches on metal bottom plate.
I'm including working Teensy adapter with XT socket so you can connect this keyboard to your PC's or Mac's USB. I've tested it with Mac and Windows and it works on both.
Please note that this beast weights around 4 KG so the shipping costs may be significant (especially across ocean). Price I'm looking for is around 200 Euro + shipping.

Bump and price drop. I'm happy to let it go for 150 Euros including worldwide shipping.

Bump and another price drop to 100 Euros including shipping worldwide (remember it's 4 KG beast so shipping costs a lot).
I may also accept trade for another nice keyboard.

I might be intersted.

Does it work on a PC via USB?

Are all keys deliver distinct key codes?

If you don't know:
Just run 'xev | grep keycode > keycodelist.txt' and type every single key, then post it here:-)

Well it worked out on OS X so I didn't have to reboot to linux. I just had to repeat some keys to get back to program's window (from Expose, Spaces etc.) here's what it ended up with:

Thanks!

Why are these only 97 lines (sort -u)?

What about F13-F24 and the function keys to the left?
Do they deliver key codes?

No need for doing that. Just wanted to know if they do all work.

Now, I have to thing about whether or not spending 100 EUR on yet another keyboard with Round 4 sphericals and the Phantom in the pipeline ...

Mmmm round 4 sphericals... If only they were available for Buckling Springs, I'd get them for my Model Ms and Model Fs.
