AT&T Buckling Spring Keyboard - PS/2
« on: Sat, 06 August 2016, 10:24:21 »
We've seen this board a couple times but this is one of the first to be seen with a PS/2 plug and not some other weird connection.

It's not.   Some of the ATT variants we've seen have an rj connector with detachable cable which can take a ps/2 cable.

The cable interface is PS/2. I've got the 305b keyboard with the PS/2 connector on the cable and a second 305b keyboard with the alternative connector on the cable. There is a topic where I showed the pin-outs for the other connector.

Why is it so expensive? $1500 USD?

They are including the Unlimited Keystroke Plan with the board.

Michael Wolff says he urged Epstein to release information he had on Trump, but Epstein appeared worried about what Trump would do to him.
Epstein told him, “I may be a pervert, but I’m not crazy.” Epstein continued, "Trump is a man without any scruples.”

I thought about hanging that pic up at my workplace, but I don't want to get in trouble.
