Re: ARM-based IBM Model M USB controller
I'm reviving this thread. I have about 5 Model Ms, which I would like to give a new lease on life, by giving them an USB interface. (I'll maybe sell some extras - I don't need all 5 of them.) Of course, QMK comes to mind. Starting there , I have found a few candidates, which, unfortunately, use chip...

Help setting up my IBM 5251!!
Operating system: Windows 11 Keyboard: IBM 5251 beam spring (1980) Hi! I have an IBM beam spring 5251 in excellent condition and I would like to convert it to USB. For this, I bought a controller from Joe (Model F Labs LLC) on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/324956507598?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-12...

It has taken as many as 5-6 tries because the pieces have to stay in place just so as you go through the trauma of the "sliding force fit" so whe...

Re: Modern switch closest to the Alps Salmon or Oranges switches in the AEK
Curiously, why not consider TMK for a converter as well? Remapping is a matter of using his online keymap editor, saving the file and uploading it to the converter : http://www.tmk-kbd.com/tmk_keyboard/editor/unimap/?adb_usb It can't be done in software, if that is what you want though.

Re: Replacing Soviet ПКН-111 on a БК-0011
It's connected by 2 16 pin DIP sockets, which then sends the data through a resistor array and then into the K1801VP1-014. The 1 key limit might be a hardware restriction rather than a matrix issue as the system is based on and compatibility with the PDP11 from 1970. It also has ROM socket on the ot...

Yes. I failed to hit the target but some fancy footwork on the part of my attorney has resulted in a new target of $3000 by Monday 10/16. It will cost me in the long run but I've got to make it that far first.
So I'm afraid that this horror show will be extended a few days.

OK, I finished my replacement controller for the battleship. Hooray! The Blackpill-based setup works. There are some hurdles, but they can be overcome. If using GPIO A10 for the matrix, it needs an additional external pull-up resistor. This has already been planned into the schematics for the replac...

Which means Intel hardware support likely won't be killed off until MacOS 16 (2025), which quite possibly also means that Rosetta 2 won't die until MacOS 17 (2026)!

I believe that most Japanese keyboards are based around the ISO layout. So, it might have been more appropriate for the Famicom model to be ISO. Most Japanese keyboards are based on the JIS layout , which has the same type of Enter/Return key as ISO layout, but a lot of differences: split Backspace...
