Hi all,
I recently traded for a brand spanking new IBM model M50, from the IBM holy lands of Argentina. The keyboard is excellent and it is currently serving desk duty as my trusty SSK companion. Because this board was new in the foam, it came with all of the original documentation, the keypuller (which I will hopefully create an STL of soon), and the original character templates for the relegendable keycaps. I have scanned all of these things, and while fairly low quality scans these should hopefully help anyone who wants that authentic IBM look on their keyboards.
The keycap removal/placement instructions.
The front and back of the driver disclaimer and instruction sheet. Curiously, this box didn't come with any kind of installation disk.
The scans of the original keycap sheets. Unsure of whether these varied based on region, but most international characters seem to be present here.
