Thats the link for an awesome deal on a model M terminal board. Just received it today and tested it that all 101 keys work under PS/2 and Blue Cube adapter, I would guess that the reason it works with blue cube and there is no need for teensy one is because it uses the model M language code and not the code as some other terminal boards use? Its my colectible item and goes next to the other buckling spring boards, keycaps are beautifull specially because they use some sort of a mix of blue legends on them mhmhmhmhm.... I noticed a very very small flex to the board,i guess the mol;ding is not as acurate as the original Model M, but thats to be expected for a size of a board such as this one. I was trying to figure out the num lock and scroll lock lights but the num lock stays on at all times no matter what and the scroll lock wont turn on, must be some combo of key presses or I need to do more research..... Any ways no matter what its a great board and compatible with modern PC's, so dont hesitate of getting one if you already though so. I got mein for a  $40 offer + $17 shipping, not bad deal for a buckling spring model board, oh and one more thing,cable is detachable and you can use this cable if you dont want to mess around with the blue cube.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-to-SDL-6-Pin-10ft-IBM-Lexmark-Unicomp-Model-M-Clicky-Keyboard-Cable-NEW-/270929974204?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f14af53bc

Says Model M.  PC Compatible like my Model M 1397000 (Sig>Globe>Keyboards Owned).

And Unicomp's SDL cables are considerably cheaper.

Befor I bought the board some people I asked here were sceptical about being compatible with blue cube.

It already comes with SDL, but if you want to use it trough USB you need Blue Cube and most likely another male to female USB cord cause of the bulkiness of blue cube... if you can waste 2 USB slots on your mobo then blue cube is fine, if not you will need the male-female USB cord or the link I posted which is SDL-USB in one shot, also looks nice and sturdy quality cable, will be getting one for my self.

I understand you being sceptical, people that tried here said its a GO! also the reviews on ebay dont lie me thinks,willing to try it out.

Blue Cube is the One True Way proven by 100's of keyboards in 100's of configurations.

Blue Cube + Belkin … the Blue Cube doesn't support my Tulip PC/AT, for example, but the Belkin does.

Yep, Blue Cube is not infallible.

And one should point out that the Belkin needs to be the right version to be good - the wrong one is crap!

I think the issue is that the non-standard keys do not work with a USB adapter.
