The reference here is a machine that has even less ports than the X220, so, bare minimum is relative. The mac has USB3, TB, HDMI and SD card slot, so, again, what is bare minimum?

Personally I found that TB accessories are very expensive, so USB3 is the best for my needs.

I am afraid that very few real life samples of this model look as cool as the one in the picture, most should need retrobrithing and cleaning, but, well, it is a super nice vintage computer. It was pretty much a market failure, though, overpriced and underpowered.

I PMed you again, now with an offer and with the proper ID, I had the wrong reference previously, imgur sucks at sorting things. Thank you.

No one benefits from his cancerous threads

I just became aware that the same guy that changed the topic on the fly is the OP,

Well, the guy is decent enough as to not make seem them stupid.

First time I heard it, but well, if people benefited from it, let's be it.

Interestingly, this thread was proposed to discuss English and German and ends up being on Chinese. How come?

You put it very nicely.

PMing you.

It is an awesome video, are you that 8-bit guy?

What formula and proportion of ingredients did you use as retrobright?

Interesting to see these real Honeywell models with quite different color theme (more like NCR) from the Honeywell keycaps group buys recently. Also the top row Function keys start from F11 and then arbitrarily end at F30, and ...

Put myself on a budget now with the goal of getting the funds for HADapter II together soon but had some unexpected expenses lately and another quarterly tax payment coming up which currently tie my hands.

No worries, we can always wait, no hurries, either.

Spanish-speaking guy here. I use the Latin American Extended layout, which is (get ready for this) an extension of the Spanish (Latin America) layout.

Whenever I use an ANSI keyboard, I lose the < > symbols, so I make do with both remapped to elsewhere. That said, if it were for me, instead of ...

I'd be in if it goes with GMK and please add Dolch keys; also, I'd prefer the icon plus legends style.

Right! First things first, the comment is totally of out of place here, as Mr. Wodan is a trustworthy fellow. It was just a reference to some failed GBs and sells that happened at GH, last year.

except for some mythical GB ripoffs lol

+1, those were not really mythical but actual ripoff that took off real money for poor candid participants.

I consider the XT layout the more ergonomic option for those that want an ISO enter along with an ANSI US layout.

Patience wins at the end, always.

The symbols layout is different to most common modern ones, that is interesting.

It has been explained that having a mold with both positions for the off and centered stems is not feasible due to interferences and while I have not checked it myself sounds reasonable due to the proximity of both positions for a 6u space bar. What I really do not understand is why PCB manufactures ...

That PCB supports both centered and off-centered, why are you requesting the centered?

I need help! :D

btw: Is this "international kit" front-printing a common thing? I got these from a Zenith branded G80-1192.

Interesting thing, but wonder why does someone want to have both, ANSI US along with DE layouts, at once in a non programmable keyboard.

Mechanical keyboards had approached an end already and they are still here under our fingers, still, and they will be here in the future, not at every desk but on some, just as they are now. They will not be a common computer accessory as they were back in eighties but they will always be some, so ...

The space bar is single shot as it does not have any legend, the GMK one is made of ABS and it is available nowhere, as far as I know; but, you can always get PBT ones from other sources like IMSTO's, whose space bars match OG Cherry base color pretty well, if not perfectly.

The 6u space bar is the main reason for me to get the split set; however, I cannot provide a strong argument to keep it in the set, maybe there is no one, but only that its not available in beige from GMK anywhere else. Personally I need it for my MX HHKB build, which is off centered and I can think ...

Now that there are two molds for the 6u space bar, it would be good to specify which one are you gonna include in the split kit, hopefully it'd be the classic 18xx off centered one, or in case of doubt, to include both.

That might be less messy and you would still be able to open the case.

This is a sounding solution, the silicon way is just too messy, even if its solvent doesn't corrode the PCB.

It needs a cleaning service ASAP.

This would be interesting, if you run a concurrent GB for appropriated key caps, otherwise, unless people are willing to use blank DSA sets, sourcing appropriate keys would be a night mare.

finally I was able to test Blue ALPS.. I like them. (thats a FK-555 btw)

First time I see a big fat enter along with a two unit back space. I thought all the big fat enter came on AT style keyboards.
