I know. And so be it. That’s why risk assessment is a thing. If risk had to always be determined to be 0% before taking any action, then nothing would ever get done. I still think it’s stupid. I still can’t understand how anyone in their right mind would expect even the most casual hobbyist to follo...

I absolutely concur about the binary blob. Someday those 8 bit ATmega chips are going to fall out of fashion and our community will be forced to move to incompatible hardware. https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2510&p=122278#p122278 14 Aug 2013: The hint that Soarer lives in West Calder.

I've gone through Soarer's DT messages.

I managed to find another of these keyboards. 69SD5-11-1-top.jpg This is 69SD5-11-1, the French variant. burroughs-td730-keyboard-specification-fr.png The SD-16201 PCB is the same, so the wiring is essentially identical. 69SD5-11-1-bottom.jpg This board has things that were missing from the Spanish ...

Oh, he jacked the price. Mine was 69.99 USD plus 14.99 USD for shipping. Hopefully it will be here in a week or two...

good god, that is by far the worst video you've made, I usually don't like them for a few different reasons but this one takes the cake. @ 9:12 ... now to me making your keyboard a fraction bouncier sounds like one of the most pointless things anyone ever came up with. Seriously guys, if plate boun...

Here is a keyboard that I recently bought from a seller on eBay who purchased a large lot of equipment from Lockheed. This was pulled from a Lockheed EP-3E which were used by the US Navy. :o Basically a keyboard for an airborne computer used for intelligence gathering, monitoring communications and ...

Kishsavers, meanwhile, were strictly corporate—banking terminals, right?—so all the OG hardware is used, and fairly rare. Owners chucked it all out, decades ago. Scarcity surely makes the prices rocket, but when I got mine for a hundred bucks or so, the demand wasn't there yet. The legend was busy ...

You wind up with weird gotchas like Right Shift + A = lowercase "a" that way, let alone more complex key combinations. Two controllers means two keyboards to the host. Some platforms merge all connected keyboards together, but not others. Windows unifies them and unix-like systems dont, but you can...

All XT keyboards are Keyboard ID: 0000. They have no way to tell Soarer’s converter otherwise. Unidirectional data stream. An XT keyboard just shows up and does all the talking. You can’t ask it anything. Can someone paste a full log output of an working xt keyboard using hid_listener. I really wan...

Hi, so your iMac or Mac Pro wake up correctly with other keyboards but not with your Topre Realforce 104UG HiPro, right? And the Topre Realforce 104UG HiPro is otherwise 100% OK? (Typing, modifier keys...) That's strange. I can't see any special wake-up key/button on this KB. So do you use a specifi...

Yet another pair of (sort of?) interesting boards that I wanted to share. Apologies for the terrible photos, the lighting was very bad. The first is a TTI TA-10C. This board is an AT clone identical to the SKB-5150C , except that it's not. It has Key World clones like the SKB-5150C, and has the same...

Insides (PCB, switches, caps, and PS/2 cable) are all brand new - it's the same one being sold on Ebay atm. I think these are Spanish keycaps. I swapped it and the FCC sticker into the case from my 6011 - also called the K case - but more compact. Still looks nice. Asking $20 Paypal ex shipping. US...

Okay. I believe I know what is going on here. It is indeed 9600 baud and there are indeed two codes for each key press / release. But it is reverse polarity from what the microcontroller expects, that is, idle low rather than idle high. C3-Maestro-ESC.png Normal key down is C1 and normal key up is C...

I have found some of my early prototypes in my attic. Originally I wanted to post these on the first of April but actually these were not meant as a joke. :lol: My very first board, I called it Keymacs Mk.

Here's where I landed with the matrix. I added the N- key (Numpad Minus) as it was missing in the matrix definition: A B C D E F G H/I J K L M N 1 Left Pause NEnter N+ (led scroll) (led caps) (led num) (leds ???) (???) Home End Up 2 RAlt Scroll (led scroll) (led caps) (led num) (leds ???) (???) Pri...

The flip side of the flip side is that you can sometimes find those ads with blurry pictures and YOU know what the KB is and how much it's worth and then the auction hits $14,505 two seconds before close because someone else also knew what the KB is and how much it was worth, but has deeper pockets...

On the flip side of sellers not knowing what they have, occasionally you can pick up something good for very little because they've basically advertised it as "Keyboard" with a single blurry photo, but enough for you to work out or have a good guess at what it is. The flip side of the flip side is ...

A macro was not needed. The code below should help you to toggle the layer as a function of a change in the Num Lock state. Notice that you might already have the function process_record_user in you keymap.c file. In that case, you only need to add from lines 5 to 14. Important: For this to work, _N...

That guy is so bad about communication. Multiple people have reached out to him regarding the files, and he never responds. Kind of killed any interest I had.

Nice to see an up front approach - I hope the dude/tte is alright. Hats off for the amazing work so far! https://paradigm.parts/ Thank you, from Paradigm I would like to thank you all for your continued interest. Unfortunately, I don’t have the bandwidth to continue with Paradigm. If you are interes...

Least of all us wiseguys.

That metal cable strain relief is badass The font + front printing + the LEDs worth perfectly. The way that the sides and the front and back of the top case attach suggests some kind of modularity. 1980s keyboard design at it's best. Is the top part of the case metal or plastic? Good luck getting i...
