Model M with RJ45 cable (non-removable)
« on: Thu, 09 June 2016, 20:33:51 »
hey all,

saw a thread here from a few years ago that went dead without a resolution. buddy of mine picked up a Model M that has an RJ45 cable, and he was wondering if there was a way to get it to work with a modern computer. He purchased it from eBay and still is able to to return it, but wants to try and see if its a viable option to convert and save the shipping costs. Anyone know if theres a way?

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
