Leading Edge DC-3014
« on: Mon, 30 March 2009, 14:32:01 »
What makes the Leading Edge DC-3014 collectible?

I saw one go for $600+ on Ebay a few months ago, and others for a fraction of that.  

Is there something unique about this model?

Dude, it's the Leading Edge!  Duh.  Don't you want to be on the Leading Edge???

Just kidding. :)  Who knows?  There are a lot of people who pay crazy prices for stuff out there.

BTW, welcome to GeekHack! :)

You're not the first to be surprised at that keyboard's prices. There has been another discussion about it here: Who's this dealer's dealer? ;)

Looks like that specific model has blue Alps sliders and is quite rare.

That is my favorite name for a thread. My best before that was "Hot" question for keyboard swingers ...

"Show thread 70" lol

I'm not going to bump an old thread, but Linux actually does have support for hotswapping PS/2.

I do it on windows all the time. But this thread has nothing to do with that?

I was replying to xsphat. BTW, try to do it on a box that hasn't had a PS/2 board plugged into it on boot. Won't work if it's Windows, will if it's Linux.

You're right probably. Never tested on a box that didn't have a PS/2 board plugged in upon boot.
