Brief update regarding 5251. Mike acted like a man, and the issue is now resolved. Thanks Mike!

Good luck with your work! There's a seller selling IBM square metal badge on eBay if you are looking for one.

Mr.Nobody, Regarding the Tibet and Tiananmen, the knowledge you were infused with is much different from what other parts of the world know. Even if you try to do some research on the web or books, you may end up with not much useful information because anything that does not meet the taste of Chine...

Something like this?

Modernization itself is good. However, modernization by China brings a question. Is it something to be appreciated? We can translate in this way. Japan took China from the early 20th century to the end of the second World War. They built facilities, railways, and modernized China to some extent. Do ...

So there are people with different thoughts. And they are still alive! Much better situation than in North Korea which is the world funniest country with a young dictator. How do you think about North Korean people? They are brainwashed to worship their dictator, otherwise there will be only death. ...

Mr. Nobody, do all the Chinese think like you? If not, that's fine. If yes, that's a problem.

Here we go again... :roll: IBM 5251 keyboard I strongly believe it's a club member mike52787's keyboard. His location is at south-west, Florida as shown in his profile. And ebay seller's ID is mikeskeyboards located at Englewood, Florida, United States. He posted in [Other news » Stuff you just bou...

Any idea what board (boards?) it's from?

The SAB 8052B microcontrollers were onle mask-programmable, ie, could only be programmed by the chip manufacturer. There might be modern pin-compatible processors with flash or eeprom, but I don't think you can read the ROM from outside such that you could copy it into the new chip. What I've done ...

Dear Oracle, I have two Omnikey Ultras, and I think one has a dead controller. Is it possible to read a firmware from the other keyboard and write it to a new microcontroller (Siemens SAB 8052B-P)? I guess I need a EEPROM writer or something, but I don't know where to start. Is there any info that I...

Probably a fingerprint reader?

I am not very familiar with Bloomberg keyboards, but I could find a different model on Taobao. Is this the one you are missing?

Another buckling mini layout keyboard! Thanks for the photos.

Wow nice looking board. Thanks for sharing the photos.

Bottom one is a newer switch. I heard it's less scratchy than previous ones (top switch), but still more scratchy than vintage switches.

got it!

Damn, I am afraid that I will never be able to get one of those in my life.
Congrats anyway!

Hmm.. I have something to tell you. Please check my PM.

No, my white damped board was from 1998 as I recall (it's in the video somewhere, but it was definitely off MouseFan's timeline) and my youngest AT101W is from 2001. Maybe I have a picture lying around somewhere (I hate opening them up because the stupid plastic clips can break easily). Didn't I se...

Nice job! I also have an Omnikey Ultra-T that needs rejuvenation.

Found a guy selling an IBM 3278 locally for around $180. Wasn't sure if it would be a good buy or not, since I can't find much info on prices online. So, is it a good deal or should I ask for lower? Buy it. It's a good price. There are many people here (including me) who are looking for that keyboa...

Please let me know if you find more. I am also interested!

Looks like the winner was screwed up by the competitor/troller.

Thanks for your oppinions, guys! How do undamped cream alps compare to Blue alps? They are different switches. Damped cream is tactile, and blue is clicky. Undamped cream? You just need to swap the slider with regular ones. By the way, some people say putting damped slider in blue alps switch makes...

Nice find! You can set up 120 macros (60 * 2 layers (using cartridge key)) with this keyboard.

Damn, nice find. You got pretty much the same thing as the 250 I bought yesterday but for a full $14 less, v jelly :) There's also a similarly clean full 5140 in Nashville sitting @ ~$50 with the auction ending in 6 hours if somebody cares to find it and lives in the US (Since it's the full laptop ...

IBM Model M 1390120 manufactured on 09 Jan 1986. Does early date add any value to this? I know some model Ms with different part numbers were manufactured in 1985.
