DCA IRMAkey/3270: Did anyone ever get this keyboard to work?
« on: Fri, 27 January 2017, 22:53:34 »
From this old thread: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=62178.0

I am thinking about picking this keyboard up and wondering if anyone has gotten this keyboard to work on a modern system.

Thanks.

What did you end up doing with it?

Another member wanted the switches and the rest of it is in pieces somewhere in a box.

That sucks. Would love to have a 122 key G80 type board on my desk :(

Those early clear click switches sound super interesting too, even coming from a Alps guy.

Have you seen samwisekoi's 122 key keyboard thread?

That might be another option if you just want a big keyboard. :D
