Congratulations to this beautiful board. Normally, this should be PC compatible, except for the unusual scan codes of the special NOTIS text processing keys. If it does not talk to your PC, something must be broken. These are the first things I would try: With your oscilloscope, you can check the li...

That's not what Merkel said, it's what her words got twisted to. A typical example for the ballyhooing and polemics we're currently faced with.seebart wrote: ↑Merkel also publicly said "everyone can come to Germany", so that's addresses anyone that wants to come over here in the entire world!!

Well the exact extent that people coming to the EU that are genuine refugees or economic migrants is not known but i would say its towards the latter. The authorities regularly publish statistics with the number of applicants for asylum, their country of origin and the number of those for which it ...

Falsche Anglizismen zu benutzen, ist zwar legitim, aber du solltest besser realisieren, dass sowas nur No-Brainer machen! Auch das ist ein falscher Anglizismus. Ein "no-brainer" ist nicht derjenige der irgendwas macht oder (nicht) denkt, sondern eine Entscheidung oder Angelegenheit, über die man ni...

My left thumbs seems to move randomly about: sometimes it rests softly on the spacebar but sometimes it's obscenely raised at an uncomfy angle, in an almost cramping manner. Lives his own live. I hope, he's happy.Khers wrote: ↑My left thumb is comfortably (?) resting on the front edge of the keyboard.

I'll see that I publish my mod in the coming weeks. Can my SIMATIC S5 PG685 keyboard use the same code like yours? Hi Terrycherry, I can see the resemblance you mean, but technically the PG685 is quite different from the other boards. The PG685 keyboard hasn't got a controller - the matrix leads are...

These are Siemens part# 6AC 6971-xxx keyboards that were used with a variety of systems (DS075 terminal, 3975 terminal, PC 16-10 computer). They sport Siemens STB keys and caps in the standard Siemens colour scheme of the period, very similar to that of Tandberg (no coincidence, they developed these...

Pulling up straight should work fine. It's a press fit, just friction holding the keycap on the plunger. @terrycherry: I don't know that board, but I don't have the impression that it belongs to a data entry device. Some buttons seem to relate to alignment, orientation and magnification. "I S" and "...

In the 1990s, my keyboard and my CRT had cables that were even longer - the workstation they belonged to rattled in the server room on the opposite site of the corridor, whilst I could hear the birds sing outside my office window.

The text on some of the function caps leads me to believe this was for military use. "FUNK AUSW" is analyse radio transmission. Who was doing stuff like that with a fat keyboard like this in the 1970s? As the orange stripes suggest that the two "FUNK AUSW" keys are related to a respective set of fu...
