Lot of 55 Model Ms
« on: Tue, 30 December 2008, 21:07:02 »
Thought this was funny (and not my auction).  A pallet of 55 keyboards!!!  Too bad I don't live in Iowa and have loads of free time.  Shipping would be a killer.  The packaging ought be better than the shrink wrap shown...

Looks like there's a bunch of Lexmark terminal keyboards in there. Dealing with those can be a pain...

Can the RJ connections be converted to USB?

It's not that easy, they use different scan codes to regular keyboards, so they wont work with anything other than the terminals they're designed to work with. I think Unicomp makes PC-compatible ones though.
