EPROM programmers normally have a device compatibility list. Have you checked?

Hopefully nobody will be using bricks except in rare fits of frustration hahaha. But we probably have to plan for 10 fingers and 2 feet simulatenously (probably more). And as HuBandiT noted, sometimes two people play together (e.g. teacher and student). So NKRO gets to well over 12, I suppose. Any ...

Thanks DMA - appreciate your response. CommonSense controller could be a great solution but as you note getting the velocity information would be an issue. Fully bypassing the very slow MIDI transmission speeds is a tough challenge. . . Not really. MIDI uses 31250 bps with 1 start/1 stop/8 data bit...

The Pause key doesn't autorepeat on a PS/2 keyboard.

There's no reason for keyfeel to be any different as the springs / hammers are identical to those in the M - they are interchangeable. Since the metal backplate also plays a part in the "keyfeel", I doubt that. I got enough Ms - my fingers know the difference. Plus, the M2 doesn't have the curvatur...

I'm not sure what voltage it is expecting. I tried the following: • 5V -- no lights • 7V -- all lights come on and stay lit • 9V -- all lights come on and stay lit. The board lets out a constant "beep" • 12V -- all lights come on and stay lit. The board lets out a brief "ray gun"/"pew" noise when I...

Based on the images, the cables should carry the following: Red, Yellow -> V cc Green, Blue, Thick White -> Gnd Thin White - Clock/Data (presumably) Is this what your Reddit fellows told you? If not, what did they tell you? If so ... whatever that is, it's not PS/2 layout (which has separate Clock a...

Searching for "beetle atmega32u4" or "beetle leonardo" turns up quite some on AliExpress and eBay.

I've recently acquired two other little Arduino-compatible boards which can be used for Soarers Converter. The first one is called: SS Micro This is a close relative of the Pro Micro; the main difference is that its LEDs, while connected to the same ATmega32U4 pins, are active high instead of the ac...

Unfortunately, no.

I added pictures of the lower part of the shell and the LED part of the upper part to my post above. At a glance, without taking exact measurements, it looks exactly like the lower part of the shell of "normal" 122-key Model Ms with SDL sockets. So, it should work by "just" adding a matching daughte...

I also got a Unicomp PC/122 with a PS/2 connector. ... That is a beast that I'd love to drag out of its box (...AFAIR, it got a rather special controller board (sitting on the right side, including the LEDs). I could take some photos of its innards if you're interested. yes, and please provide some...

I'd definitely be interested in at least one M-122 board. As you know, mind_prepared , I got 4 of them by now; all hand-modded to USB with Soarer Converter on a Teensy 2 or Pro Micro, 3 of them with added LEDs in the exact same position as the previous Unicomp PC/122 generation had (i.e., using the ...

The only anomaly (which I don't really know whether is an actual anomaly) is that the Pause key registers its down and up events in 7..11 ms, independently of how long I actually press the key. That's actually no wonder, if you look at the PS/2 protocol. The Pause key fires one long PS/2 code seque...

- soarer's controller has custom tool to upload keymaps, which with Pro Micros means I don't have to play with RST pin to reset to bootloader and then hunt for a tty device I always replace the boot loader on the Pro Micros with Grendel's . It's smaller and it doesn't have that pesky 8 second timeo...

1. Does it work with a modern Unicomp Model M? I don't know. What's a Unicomp Model M look like inside? Essentially like a 1996/7 Model M (the latest series, with the small controller board on the right side that's directly squeezed on the paths of the foil instead of using a connector). At least t...

Since neither Windows nor Menu key exist on the original Model M, you definitely have to generate your own config.

I installed one of these yesterday. Works great! It was a drop-in replacement for an original controller that seems to have developed thermal problems - after some hours of usage, it would start to rAndOMLy seLeCt upper/LOWERCAs€ and even mix in some letters I definitely didn't type 8-) The problems...

You do realize that there are hundreds of generic TLDs around now, right? .com/.net/.org isn't really that meaningful any more.

macro expects exactly one HID key plus an optional set of modifiers (Shift/Alt/Ctrl/Gui).

Cleaned up my ex's one some years back only to find the needles of what must have been half a christmas tree in it. I'll never find out how she did that.

HuBandiT wrote: ↑BTW are any of you M guys interested in NKRO for the M?

Definitely. Slight PITA each time I use it as a little substitute for a musical keyboard.

The key caps are from a standard German 1391403, just slightly randomized 8-). The controller board also looks like a normal PS/2 one (got the LED cable connector), not a terminal. I think this keyboard belonged to an IBM PC/XT. I don't know why the previous owner did what he did, but it seems he di...

Ich habe mir gerade 4 Model Ms organisiert. Im Originalzustand sahen sie so aus... $_57.JPG Nach stundenlanger Putzerei und ein paar Zusatzcaps aus bewährter Quelle sehen sie wieder so aus: IMG_1590.jpg ... also größtenteils wieder in Ordnung. Technisch sind sie alle gut in Schuss und klackern wie a...

EDIT: if anyone international wants to bypass this sea-freight/proxy option, let me know when we PM. I haven't even considered because I just assumed everyone would want to save 30+ dollars and wait an extra week or two. Depending on where your proxy lives, it might mean another ~20€ anyway to get ...

That was the Converter, not the Controller. I have reverse-engineered the Controller V1.20 beta4, too, but that's still 100% untested. If you want the code, PM me. The big question is - how should that help in this context? I'm not the hardware guru that's needed here, Soarer was ... so yes, I'd rea...

True ... well, my order already contains 2 sets of screws, so please make that 3.

If your Tetris session results in "Yep, would work" , I'd like to add an Indy case (plus one of the good old standard IBM LED overlays) to the order.

That case deal came about 3 weeks to late in my case <sigh>... well, I might go for a "mixed price", so, just to be clear about that: ONE THING TO NOTE: for those of you picking up more than one kit, I am currently shipping 2 full units (assembled with switches) in a single box.
