Found an interesting looking Wyse terminal board- https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-WYSE-m ... :rk:9:pf:0

That's the dome version of the Wyse PCE.

That would explain the low price then.

Licenses are per computer,so it shouldn't be much of an issue,plus if it doesn't authenticate you just lose the ability to set a wallpaper while you program the board.

If you don't want to maintain a second system to program a Tipro board you can grab a copy of 32 bit Win 10,then use WinToUsb to make a bootable USB3.0 drive,then just boot into that drive and program the board. It's a bit of a pain in the butt but it works.

From what I found on this page- https://madmount.com/tandata/ it looks like the 4000 was Cherry MX,not sure which switch type though.

Steve Jobs must be rolling in his grave,but he didn't have any taste and now i'm tempted to get one of these and dye the caps.

Hey all, sorry for the necro, but I didn't see any recent posts about this. I have recently built a board using the Amoebas, but I am stuck on finding a non-frustrating way to create the tiny bridge wires. I'm having trouble stripping the ends and preventing them from getting bent out of shape beca...

Nothing says old school like an acoustic coupler,wonder if those even work over modern lines these days.

Caps Lock is useless and pointless to have on a board,it's place should be occupied by Ctrl and Alt should be in the lower left corner.

BFO-9000 is really easy to assemble,once built the option to have any layout you want is great. This one is mine-

Oddly enough Corsair has a set of keycaps that appear to match the bottom row-

Btw I should of asked above. What is the purpose the the H pattern cutout vs square. I have heard conflicting stories. Would anyone be able to elaborate? Does it assist w removing of the switch tops once soldered and mounted as I have read? Perhaps something different? Switch top removal is the rea...

My BFO-9000 layout-



Works very well for me,pretty sure others would find it a problem.

Damn,now I kinda want to dig up a set of those caps,they look really nice.

Very nice.
I also now have a desire for a 2u Enter key labeled EXECUTE.

I guess I'm looking for a matrix KMX then
I love that keyboard!
Btw, do you have any idea if they usually work well on Linux?
Thank you

Once programmed they should work on any OS.

Caps Lock should be mapped to Control since that is where Control belongs,I severely dislike the Caps key so I may be a bit biased.

The overall shape is as disappointing as a rainy weekend, and just look at that oh-so-high-quality pad printing on the keys. The unfortunate thing is now they are producing absolute GARBAGE membrane based keyboards. Only keyboard that just 'passes' with usability, is their new/old G810 series with ...

Damn,that is an awesome piece of work,very very nice.

Damn,I love the legends on those caps,I wonder how much a custom set of those in black on purple keys would run.

Very nice clean up on that board.
