I did powder-coat mine and it turned out to be really the only way to properly get it restored ... paint was horrible (used it before):

Most content for the overview section has been added and I am starting to work on the sections that go more into depth. Obviously, there is still some outstanding work on everything and I am happy if someone wants to review it - especially the Firmware Overview section (sorry, the whole thing alread...

I just uploaded a few updates, mostly corrections and cosmetic adjustments of the QMK Firmware Overview section. I also added the translation table in the Appendix B for IBM Set 1,2,3 and USB scancodes. 93 pages for both: 71MBytes: http://www.linux-tin.org/ModelFManual.pdf 16Mbytes: http://www.linux...

I've been running with one of the default qmk keymaps for a bit now, but finally got around to customizing my own. I rebased pandrew's work on top of qmk master because there was a feature I wanted upstream. I created my keymap and flashed it, but now nothing works and I can't get back to the bootl...

Oh, I am soooo jealous

@numist, can you post a picture of both ends of the soldering? Sometimes just a little bend / pressure can cause a column not to register if the soldering has a flaw. I had this with my self modified keyboards. I neglected to take any pictures of the solder job when it arrived, but here's how it lo...

I have uploaded the latest version to http://www.linux-tin.org/ModelFManual.pdf or the size reduced version to http://www.linux-tin.org/ModelFManual-Small.pdf Wow amazing job guys. Vast amount of useful information displayed in such a nice package :) Thanks! Just uploaded the daily changes. This ti...

I just recently added those to my F107. The F107 originally comes with plastic inserts that have a different size. What I did is to remove the plastic inserts and filled the gap with epoxy resin that was already in the curing phase. Then I inserted the tabs into the gaps - they fit pretty nicely. I ...

Not to outdo darkcruix, but i'll be taking mine scuba diving next week. ;) Seriously though, I tried to take a better natural light photo for the color red, but then this happened to our skies outside: ... But anyway, I decided to try my hands at photographing it again indoors. This time with bette...

Great photos - thanks so much! They will look fabulous in the document .... I hopefully will find time this evening to update it. This original F77 .... man ... wow Thanks! If you need something else just PM me. I have them included and uploaded - looks great, imho. Huge thanks for that! Still look...

I just came back from travel and I had my F62 with me in my backpack. I took some care of it, but not extremely. My backpack was dropped once and I could hear the F62 slamming to the ground and the springs were ringing ... Guess what ... the keyboard had two keycaps to be re-seated, but zero issues ...

I have uploaded the latest version to http://www.linux-tin.org/ModelFManual.pdf or the size reduced version to http://www.linux-tin.org/ModelFManual-Small.pdf I have started with Section 3 - Firmware Overview . For QMK I am starting to build the basics around its usage in the overview. During that p...

Measurements:

I wanted to do another shoutout here as well. For the Model F Technical Reference, I would still require photos (with CC rights) for a bunch of original IBM Keyboards. I have two pictures in the PDF http://linux-tin.org/ModelFManual.pdf of my XT and AT boards already, so you can see the approximate ...

I have updated the Manual (both sizes) with a few more items and photos: http://linux-tin.org/ModelFManual.pdf http://linux-tin.org/ModelFManual-Small.pdf I also received some wonderful updates (from depletedvespene and others), which I am reviewing at the moment and probably upload over the next da...

That's some great drawings!
Anyone making T-shirts with them? I'd be in for one.

What a great idea

Did a check on my phone and it looks good there also, IMHO

... At 100% zoom, that image is about 140 pixels high. At what zoom do you expect people to read the document? Fit page width? Fit page height? It feels like we're trying to implement mip-mapping. My initial idea was (and still is) a printed manual as primary outcome. I absolutely also want it to b...

Then your MacBook Pro must have some amazing image scaling built in.

I've uploaded the 'small' version with the latest 720p pictures. How does it look for you now?
http://www.linux-tin.org/ModelFManual-Small.pdf

OK, uploaded a new small version with the 720p versions of the compact keyboards. Can you check?
http://www.linux-tin.org/ModelFManual-Small.pdf

The key layout views actually look fine - possibly because most lines are perpendicular. Only the perspective projection case views look not great. Oh great - then let me get the two versions of the PDF done. I will re-create the low-res version done with all pictures converted from the original ve...

I can create two versions - one for screen view at e.g. 720p and one for printing @ 300dpi or more. For the re-creations in Photoshop (e.g. Split Keys) it is a bit more complicated, as it will take me some time to re-create them all in low resolution manually. Best way would be a SVG file and line-a...

I only have a MacBook Pro with me and the pictures look good - wither directly in Microsoft Edge or in Preview.
I did re-run your pictures through a 300dpi dither filter. Maybe this is causing some issues, too. Both of your pictures look ok to me.

The pictures in section 2.1 look fine on my 1440p desktop display, but unfortunately they look quite atrocious on my tiny 1366x768 laptop. I need 250% zoom for the lines to resolve. The PDF is created for printing ... I try the lower res PDF at: http://www.linux-tin.org/ModelFManual-Small.pdf . I h...

I can only give you the advice to ask getting included in the QMK firmware beta. I am pretty certain the issue will vanish, when you change to the QMK firmware. Thanks man. Just DMed pandrew. Hopefully I can get this figured out. Just an update: talked to pandrew and the QMK beta fixed the issue I ...

I have updated the manual at http://www.linux-tin.org/ModelFManual.pdf . This time you will find a complete re-write of the section with the physical keyboard layout. depletedvespene has brought in all his wealth of knowledge around the topic and re-wrote it. There is still some polishing to do, but...

This is such a great project. I've been meaning to offer my help if proofreading could be of any assistance. Any help is more than welcome. I am currently getting things re-arranged due to some great ideas from depletedvespene. Once the section 2 is re-arranged, any help on proof reading would be m...

Or, and this might sound crazy, how about doing this when you return home? Your keyboard will still be there. Or maybe it won't. Is it really such a good idea to travel with a very expensive thing? What if someone steals it? That's why when i travel, I take my cheap watch, wear my cheap suit, drive...
