Thanks idollar!

Thanks. It is nice to know that this was useful. The pictures could be better ...

In view of the positive feedback, when I find the time to process the XP restoration pictures I will create a similar port for this type also

That's quite a detailed restoration.

Absolutely. Good work!

i$, had you considered doing an ANSI mod to this board? I saw your recent (and very impressive!) work on the F-122 and I was very impressed.

I'd like to try that myself. ANSI as in Big Ass Enter begone. Or are you talking about adding more mods either side of a shorter spacebar as well?

scottc · 31 Jan 2015, 01:58

I'm not quite that brave, unfortunately. I do have plans for the numpad, however.

Muirium · 31 Jan 2015, 02:01

Inverted T along the bottom, of course. I was thinking similar! The AT is actually not a bad old TKL…

scottc · 31 Jan 2015, 02:09

Certainly not! It could certainly do with a better Esc placement too, but that's doable.

You should do an ANSI conversion on the Enter key, get some front printed function keys for the number row, add Ctrl keys and put in a normal 7x spacebar.

Hi,

I would love to do it but I need a donor keyboard that I do not have.
I live in Europe, which means that getting these keyboards here is expensive.

I am having an idea while typing ... do we know someone in the US that should get a keyboard (broken M) and ship me the keycaps only ?
