Is this keyboard / emulation system the reason beamsprings ended up in the trash?

Now I wish I would have napped this now ;) Glad to see it show up here though.

Uh, wow.

You've got yourself something really unique.

A set 1 F122. Jeez. How do we keep finding new obscure things?

We keep searching for weird, unique, and obscure things. At least I do.

I feel like this keyboard belongs in Japan. Would be neat to see it documented though.

That is insane. It's gonna sell for about $4 a switch, right?

Well it's 3am here and I've got the board all hooked up... but I'm afraid to turn it on. I've spun the volume knob all the way in one direction, but I'm not sure if I've turned it all the way up or down. I know as soon as I plug this thing in, it's going to beep at me and scare the hell out of me. ...

Glad to see this all came together. Looks like a fun project Also I have some 4p4c connectors and crimp tool if you happen to need that still.

I believe your board is essentially the ISO / UK version of the IBM 1386303 which is pretty much the first of the Model M keyboard's which were not intended for PC's.

Well you don't even have a pic of the label or list the part number in this thread but it sounds like you have an early production model and not a prototype. The controller looks fairly standard to me. The earliest production Model M's were made in 1985 and prototypes I believe date to later in 1984.

God, I love the color scheme on these old Burroughs boards. Great score, man! Very stylish, innit? Especially those blue relegendables; very nice touch! Yeah I just love the style of these boards and others of this time period. It's been on my list for a while and really couldn't ask for a better b...

The guy at the background has no computer to use and how he sat makes him look a bit unenthusiastic and sad...

Yeah horrible posture. Poor sap probably has a dead end job, three kids and wife that's having an affair.

I just got this lovely keyboard this week :D . I couldn't find out much about it and the label on the bottom is unreadable. 1.JPG After some further research I believe this to be a keyboard for the 830 Series terminal . 830series.jpg https://deskthority.net/download/file.php?id=11295 https://desktho...

Thanks for sharing! Definitely a cool find.

Just scored this beauty to go along with my smaller Burroughs keyboard.

Also "I can't sell to anyone in Indiana." which is me

Isn't this the one that was on ebay for 1,200 bucks? Quite interesting switches, looks like Keytronic Tactile foam and foil, but with an MX stem. How does the sensing work? Is it capacitive or conductive? Seems like it would be capacitive, but the ribbon cables make me think conductive. Looks like ...

Nice!!! I think that accessory numpad is harder to find than the keyboard itself.

That makes sense.

I promise we don't bite

It's been a while since anything as been posted here. Nearly 1 year later I just found these manuals on eBay which apparently do not exist online so I'll eventually need to get these uploaded to bitsavers.org

This is gonna be good

I received two of these interesting Atex newspaper editing terminal keyboards from PDP_11 and figured I would post a quick teardown. From the two I would eventually like to restore one into the best condition as I can. Atex Model DIN-40: 1.JPG Old news: atex2.jpeg The teardown: 2.JPG 3.JPG 4.JPG 5.J...

I just found these as well. The same seller even has a converter for the hard to convert 3178 Model F.

Can you take it apart and post some pictures?

This should be interesting:
