IBM made 52G9658
« on: Tue, 30 October 2018, 11:53:00 »
Hello
i would like to know about IBM modem M (52G9658):
1- beside the fact that it has permanently attached flat cable; any known issues about this keyboard?
2-how is it when in term of build-quality when compared to 1391401 units ?
3- 2-how is it when in term of build-quality when compared to Unicomp units ?
4- in general does feel cheaper than other model m units?

thanks

It's similar to any of the later year M's, lighter backplate, but a solid board.  Better construction than a Unicomp board.

You can get a replacement cable from Unicomp if needed.

IBM modem M

It's the slow version of the Model M. Uses 56k robber domes.

Are you sure about that? I thought that rubber dome Ms and M2 model numbers started with "7"

Epstein told him, “I may be a pervert, but I’m not crazy.” Epstein continued, "Trump is a man without any scruples.”

Whatever you're trying to say here is wrong.   It's a buckling spring model.
