IBM PS/2 Screen Reader
« on: Wed, 07 April 2010, 09:31:03 »
There's a rather interesting device on display in my college - it's a keypad that was part of a system to assist blind people use DOS made by IBM for the PS/2. As far as I can see, it looks like a Model M numpad with extra large lettering and a different layout. It has an SDL connector on the back, and from what I read, it connects to the PS/2 mouse port. There's info here and more info with a low-res pic here. I have a pic of my own which I'll post up once I get the cable for my phone.

Pics as promised -



Blurry picture is blurry. I took it whilst I was in a bit of a rush. I'll get a better shot(s) tomorrow.

A much better picture -

Don't worry too much. I figured out how to put it back the way it was. Pictures of keyboards are appreciated, though; but as individual posts in the "keyboard pics" forum.
