deskthority

I changed my van's desk setup a bit since my last post. I changed keyboards; its a Model M 122 with a 1988 1392145 sticker on its back, but that is clearly not what it is; I have another such keyboard on my home computer, and they have a DIN180 plug and 1988 style mounting plate; this one has a gold ...

Thanks for that information, Elipse.

I ordered 75 relegendable keys from Elipse and while it did take a bit of time (which was absolutely explained on his website), I got them and... actually, I got 76. So thanks for the extra. But I am intrigued by something, which is that they came in a variety of colors. Most of them were the ...

It looks like a 180 to me, but I guess I'll find out when I get the first converter I ordered...

Thanks; is there a reason to premptively bolt mod?

Long story short: I was a dedicated IBM model M user on my few PCs (long standing Mac user) until I graduated college, because we had them at school, at which point I stopped buying PCs because I got an Intel mac and it could run Windows, and while I didn't install Windows on my next computer, by ...

I bought a 1392149 on ebay, saw it was a DIN plug, and ordered a converter from tinkerboy, because (long story in another post) I'm new to this, but when I got it, and looked at the plug, I could see it was a DIN 180.
