Those Cherry B80 are indeed interesting, they probably have M7 Switches, like my B65.

I think i have an M7 2nd generation switch that 7bit put in my order as a bonus , it would be nice to get my hands on some of them as its the nicest cherry i have ever used.

What the …?

It appears to be a rebadged Acorn BBC Master Compact with all-white keycaps. Never seen one of those before.

Keyboard is likely to be domes:

Ah, interesting, confirmation that the membrane RT-10x did indeed become RT-6xxx.

M9 indeed. One of those things I'd be tempted to snap up if I used eBay, though what I'd with 800 bleeding switches I have no idea. Ten would be plenty.

Can you pull a keycap?

IKSLM · 22 Oct 2014, 00:34

Sorry, i do not own it, just fund it on a "local ebay" and thought it was interesting.

Model M space saver

Daniel Beardsmore · 22 Oct 2014, 01:26

I'm curious what the writing says on it. I wasn't aware that anyone ever rebadged the Master Compact. (Whoever they were, clearly didn't see any need to do anything about that silly key with the squares on it.)

IKSLM · 22 Oct 2014, 09:22

The seller says he bought it in the Italy in the early 80s. He also has a complete computer attached to it.

Daniel Beardsmore · 22 Oct 2014, 09:23

Are we at least allowed the auction URL?

Also, unless that's a keyboard disguised as a Master Compact, that is the computer.

Daniel Beardsmore · 22 Oct 2014, 09:28

Ah, Italy … duh, that would make it an Olivetti:

There you go. Olivetti Prodest PC128 S.

IKSLM · 22 Oct 2014, 10:09

Ah, good catch.

pasph · 22 Oct 2014, 10:13

There's one on sale for €29,50 from Italy

I've just bought one of these packets. Will presumably take a week to arrive at my door.
If you're interested in a batch of 10 or so, drop me a message.

that´s the XXL SSK.

A Model M Bigfoot? http://www.ebay.com/itm/251690785334

I didn't think such a thing existed. I'm tempted to buy it because it is rare. Maybe they made a mistake on the label?

seebart · 25 Oct 2014, 18:07

I seriously doubt that,it could be that the later revisions of the bigfoot were indeed M´s. It´s super rare anyway, and NIB!

It´s got a Lexmark sticker on the back from 1996!

If all that is true that would make it one of the rarest M´s!

Muirium · 25 Oct 2014, 18:35

Oh god, a Bigfoot M! Eeeeew.

seebart · 25 Oct 2014, 19:22

Oh god, a Bigfoot M! Eeeeew.

you knew these existed Mu?

That makes me wonder if there is a kishy M

Hypersphere · 25 Oct 2014, 19:23

It has part number 4176191, which is supposed to be a Model F. Perhaps there was a mix-up on the labeling somewhere.
