SOLD: IBM Lexmark Model M 42H1292
Just sold... thanks !
Classic USA-made IBM/Lexmark Model M . I love the feel of this board, but I got my dream keyboard (Unicomp Mini M) and this one shouldn't be languishing in the closet. This was my daily-use keyboard for most of the last year.
Shows some minor scratches. most notably one ...

Re: FS/FT: IBM Model F XT w/USB, Lexmark Model M, Microspeed Kid Trac
It's worn where my hands rest at the bottom; I can try to take pictures in better lighting tomorrow.Dikkus wrote: 19 Aug 2020, 05:20 If you don't mind me asking, how bad is it? It's always hard to tell from pictures alone. I noticed from your old thread that it looks considerably more grey in that picture.

All sold now, thanks!
I'm working from home now and it's time to downsize to one office's worth of peripherals.
First, my IBM Model F XT . I refurbished this and installed a Teensy for USB support; see build thread at https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=17673 . Works flawlessly and is an ...

Update!
I daily used this keyboard until this winter, when I decided to tear it apart and make it pretty. I sanded the case down to bare plastic, and painted with multiple coats of grey Krylon plastic paint that appeared to match IBM Industrial Grey fairly well. I also pulled and cleaned the keys ...

Speeding up an old MicroSpeed trackball?
Hello all, just purchased a classic Microspeed (now CST) Kid TRAC serial trackball mouse that I'm using with a serial to PS/2 adapter. Works great, and I love the feel, but it's too sluggish for my three 1920x1200 screens even with Windows speed cranked up all the way (also changed the MouseSpeed ...

I kinda like the granite idea! Sacrilege?
Well, I'm typing this from the Model F, and I have to say that I absolutely love the feel of it! I attempted to use the Teensy wired to an old AT/PS2 adapter, but I kept getting an R05 error from Soarer's converter. After chopping out the old XT cable and ...

The keyboard came in yesterday, and it actually looks cleaner in person than it did in photos. I'm going to finish up the controller tonight; building it outboard rather than hacking up the original cable. Then, I'll test drive it for a while before worrying about the cosmetics, as they're not as ...

Model F Restoration - input welcome!
I've been searching for a cheap model F for a while, and finally found a deal. It's going to need some attention for sure.
