Nah, TMK Unimap's not working with my plain Teensy 2. I made this provisional layout here : note the mouse keys on the numpad. Unimap gave me a hex file, which I tried to flash onto the keyboard (an AT protocol NMB RT8255C+ with black space invaders and a Teensy running Soarer's Converter installed ...

90 degree connector, right? Did you use the 3179 pinout from http://www.kbdbabel.org/conn/index.html? The straight connector and 90 degree connector are different. Source: I have two pre-built Soarer's converters. One is for the straight DIN connector. The other is for the 90 degree DIN connector. ...

AT waveform itself looks ok now. But the AT signal for 'K' is actually '6B'(Keypad 4), I think you got '4' or Left(depending on NumLock state) on computer press 'K' on the XT keyboard. This indicates the converter misread XT signal for 'K', to be exact, it fails to read data on the first clock falli...

Hey there, I just built a TMK ps2_usb converter out of this Pro Micro clone from ebay: Pro_Micro_01.jpg At first I contemplated just buying a converter from anywhere, but I could already smell bugs with ISO-DE layout and non-configurability even before hitting the Buy-button. So I went with this. Fo...

Hi, here's a quick update - your comment on an "auto-configuration-feature" made me searching the net ... On this link : https://www.netphantom.com/APIDocumentation/se/entra/phantom/server/tn5250e/DataStream5250.html I found some information that you can query the terminal about its settings etc - a...

From the depths of China comes this ex-data entry workhorse. Fallen from grace, its life in a glitzy air-conditioned Tokyo office has come to an end, and it now lies destitute in a dumpster somewhere. Shipped off to China to be put out of its misery and scrapped, I knew I had to grab it as soon as I...

Found the board. Sorry for the crummy picture. Also it's soldered in place so I can't immediately see the bottom. I guess mine are different (they have the two little extended nubs on top where as your don't extend out). Also the top on mine is flat where yours has a slight grade to it. This is what...

I don't know what this thing is, but it appears to have Cherry M61-0100 switches. Unfortunately it's missing a keycap :( https://www.ebay.com/itm/202561547496 202561547496.jpg 202561547496_switch.jpg I wanna know how he knows it works... And how he could go so long since 1995 without buying a new d...

Update - Pulled the spacebar and there is a sticker underneath confirming it is a Datasaab keyboard (Type E00101 0100). Switches are Clare-Pendar SF 5101 (magnetic reed). After seeing it in person, I am confident somebody took an old Datasaab keyboard, desoldered the switches, put them in a strange...

Slom the Silent TI doesn't have a demultiplexor it just writes directly to the enable lines. My MicroSwitch board does have a demultiplexor on it so I had to take this into account when I did my conversion. I think DorkVader was referring to the source code for my SD board not the code that you wrot...

HeyGuys. I won it from the eBay auction, sorry, this is a set of not so good photos.Yes, my photos are as sucks as ever... According to https://deskthority.net/daniel-beardsmore-u819/ 's suggestion, it comes from https://terminals-wiki.org/wiki/index.php/ADDS_Consul_580 Unfortunately, some keycaps w...

GEEZ! :shock: That's really enviable! I cant imagine what I missed... :o It seems that most of those switches are M61-0120. Is there a different switch in them? Heavier or lighter, at least they look the same. In gerneral, Shift and the others special keys should using some special switches. but I n...

Thank you. I think it is M84A-0100. The same as pyrelink's switch

Never thought I would find something like this. An unassembled Cromemco JS-1 Joystick Console. Complete with unopened pouches (that I can't open without cutting the bag) Cherry M61-0100 switches and appropriate double-shot key caps. This joystick is similar to Pyrelink's here . Cromemco JS-1 Joystic...

That's really interesting, because I have M84 switches (M84-0100, from Cherry), and the contacts are circular cross section exactly as you're suggesting! Also shown on the wiki is an M8 switch with clearly triangular section contacts. So maybe we can't tell M81 and M82 apart, but we can recognise M...

I've looked at the master list of Cherry part numbers from Potis Technologies (theirs is in a PDF) and there are over 2000 MX types, from MX1A-01DN to MX5D-F1YW. It's not gibberish: this is either deliberately and carefully deceptive, or legitimate. The third character stops at 5 (which is legitimat...

Off-hand I don't know if that should be "B65-46AB" keyboard mechanism with a hyphen. Those look like the old-style switches (style A), so I guess it's M61-0100 (straight) and M61-0120 (tee). Those seemed to be the standard types. I don't know if the redesign corresponded with the new part numbers or...

I am looking for a bunch (a few hundred to a few thousand) M84A-0100 switches. I can also use the M82 or M81. These are for replacements on industrial controllers. Can anyone point me to where I can find them? I would prefer new surplus, but I will take good used switches or unsolder them from compl...

The caps look like Cherry's old spherical doubleshots:



Which were meant for low profile M84 switches like these:

I was in the process of replying to your PM but I'll pick this up here. José, this is just incredible!
