Nice! I hope it brings well over $200
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

A Teensy is only about $22 shipped and the Chinese knock-offs are as little as $5.

For $40 you can get one of Orihalcon's cable converters, but you don't need any of that, AT speaks the right language already.

A straight AT-to-PS/2 adapter is all you need and even a PS/2-to-USB can piggyback off of that.

But if you want to tweak the layout, xwhatsit controller swap is superior to a converter.

F construction is so bulletproof you can barely tell a cleaned up one from one fresh out of the box.

Hope it gets used and doesn't just sit on a shelf.
