[WTB] IBM F50, IBM 4680 POS

Re: Model M/F components

Hey, you pinged me on reddit, and I'll take a look what I have in my stash. I'm also in a F62/F77 groupbuy and I'll be adding some extra keys to it, and I'd be willing to order extra for you as well.

So, this is finally happening. I've been out of the loop for a while now, so it's nice to see this progressing. And I'll be in NY in December, so fingers crossed I receive it before xmas :).

Nice Displaywriter. I have some Alps stuff like Alps-3420 and Sharp X68k if that rocks your boat.

I was veeery lucky with getting this one. I got it together with monitor and main unit (no floppy disk unit or printer), and as shipping was from Germany, it could have been way worse on my wallet :). Quite an interesting board, and really nice looking. It has a weird design flaw (or mine has a brok...

I thought I got stuck with a ~$150 paperweight, but it didn't take long after I put it on ebay to see it snagged by someone in Switzerland, for a small profit to boot. So no complaints there :)

3278s are way more common than Kishsavers I wouldn't say 3278s are way more common than kishies (especially some variants), if at all. Because of that batch two years ago, kishies are not the rarest of boards (still veeeery rare by all accounts), the trouble is no one wants to get rid of them :)

RIP my chances to get a Displaywriter.

This is not great, but certainly interesting

At some points it looked almost impossible to get everything (at a reasonable price), but patience payed in the end.

Keyboard and keypad map to a raw matrix (with some special keys), but trackball is an ADB device on pins 27, 28, 29 and 30.
