I should be able to use it with soarer's converter right?

The answer is obvious: give it to me.

Prepare to get lots of PMs.

I'm not actually sure if you can soarers a Nixdorf board, if they're just a standard PS/2 then yes, there is a chance that they run some strange Nixdorf protocall though. Photekq has one (clicky)so it might be worth asking him.

I'll take it!

if i can get it working i think i'll keep it, if not i'll might try to sell or trade

Good luck getting it working, keep us updated. Do you have a picture of the connector? That might also help decide if it's soarer-able.

Is the layout Portuguese AZERTY? I mean, clearly it's AZERTY, but I can see some Portuguese characters on the right hand side of the alpha block as well.

I would sell it , and pay off the mortgage on your house

Nice! Where did you find this gem?

You could brag about it on the Deskthority forum.... oh, never mind.

my father in law has a small import/export company, and they were moving from a huge warehouse to a much smaller space so a lot of stuff got left behind.. in the last day in the old warehouse i went there scavenging for stuff and found this in the middle of a bunch of crappy 5€ keyboards..

People want to tear it apart for those clear "Nixdorf black" switches inside. Don't let them! Unless they pay €1000. It really is worth a small fortune to those scoundrels!

I'd just use the keyboard too. Caps are cool. Looks a nice layout. What's the connector?

what a find! Where did you find it anyway? You know how lucky you are?!?

found it here ^

i'll post more pictures of it when i get home later today

i have no idea what connector it has, i'll post pics later too

ahh you found it there: ^ Very interesting.

Posting on here for stalker purposes.........

this is the connector:

That cable is a hazard and that connector is unheard of. Send it to me!

I agree, send the cable and connector to Halvar, I'll take the, useless with no cable, keyboard.

Yeah, let chzel have the useless case and I'll just take the PCB with switches. It's useless without a case so I'll just pay for shipping.

Can't see the pins. Needs better picture!

I'm not well versed in Nixdorf computers. If you're lucky it's simple AT. If not, well, could be better to sell to one of these guys and buy a few Topre Realforces with the takings, to console your disappointment!

Each of those switches is worth several dollar/Euros.

Yeah, give the PCB to scottc and give me the switches.

No no, I already said I'd take the switches.

Nobody seems to have claimed the caps yet, so I'll take them

I'll have the rug.
