New post [Keyboards] IDENTIFY THE KEYBOARD thread
Thanks, those are good leads. I'm not convinced this is worth picking up. Seller wants 50 euros and won't ship it, and it's not worth the drive I think.

New post [Reviews] Bondwell B310 Superslim laptop review (Cherry MX Navy / Dark Blue)
Today we look at not just a vintage keyboard, but a whole computer! A Bondwell B310 Superslim laptop from 1990, to be precise. This model happens to come with a full-travel mechanical keyboard with very rare Cherry MX switches, as it happens. Hope you enjoy the video!

New post [Keyboards] Tulip 9151B drop-in replacement?
https://deskthority.net/wiki/Tulip_9151B
I am not overly familiar with vintage boards and thus I do not know how closely the manufacturers would follow the quasi-standard set by IBM for the keyboard-layout and switch-positioning.
Do you think there could be a more or less drop-in replacement for a

New post [Keyboards] Dead Model F - faulty sense amplifier?
Hi,
I try to fix a dead Model F XT. I was measuring and poking around. When the sense amplifier is installed, the pins 27-36 on the 8048 do not generate proper signals, without the SA everything looks fine on these pins. All other passive components running within their specs.

New post [Keyboards] 1983 F/XT: first impressions
AndyJ... no, it's not a grounding issue, but thanks for the suggestion. But yeah, I totally agree that these keyboards (as far as Model Fs go, I've only tried the vintage AT and XT) are very sensitive to grounding. Any time that wasn't "right" on one of the boards, it would spit out total gibberish until
