I'm able to get some IBM 122 key Emulator keyboards which are working with PCs (PS/2).

They come NIB and will be tested before shipping to Europe!

Price including shipping to EU-Europe (USPS):
(price may vary if your VAT level is lower, or if there is no VAT charge at all!)

1 Keyboard: 130 EUR
2 Keyboards: 200 EUR

Bolt modding with changing keys (like ANSI Enter etc.):
30 EUR / keyboard (without keys) (15 EUR for all orders placed before 2011-07-11)

modding options are:
- split up Backspace to become 2 keys
- ANSI Enter (J-shape out, m-shape in)
- split up right Shift (1 unit (left) 1.75 unit (right))
- consolidate left Shift and > < key to have a 2.25 units key

If you are interested, please pm me.

Yep!

This with a 122 key IBM board and it's a perfect match!

Is it like this?

It is between those 2.
You better get one, to fill the gap!

edit: LOL, got one from ebay over the week end which has also the B missing:

Original IBM Tastatur Made United Kingdom

Does it have them LEGS?! I bet it doesn't.

daedalus · 12 Jul 2011, 00:22

The 1397000 was only produced in the newer style of terminal case.

@7bit - I'll have to think about it.

No LEGS. More legs.
You are very close. Once again, its between the ols Model F-style case and the Model M style case with the blue label.

hint: I has got the modern Model M style case and is a Model M.

Don't think!

Get it before webwit takes all the remainig 8.

webwit · 12 Jul 2011, 00:28

This is the one daedalus should get.

If I don't already have it it DOESN'T EXIST!

Well actually I'm not much of a 122 key collector. I'm fine with the, uhm, half dozen I already have.

Label is perfect this time. But the rest ...

The amazing thing is that exactly the same key is missing on that as on webwit's. Maybe these keyboards came all without the B.

Want an Emulator instead?

webwit · 12 Jul 2011, 00:42

The ebay picture is all wrong. That's not the B. And the rest of that row to the right is wrong.

Yes, you are right!

BTW: I've looked at your website and did not find it:

Before you open all your boxes and serach for all 122 key keyboards you have:

It is the same as the blue label one, except it has got a gray one and is from around 1992.

webwit · 12 Jul 2011, 00:54

I'm not a big fan of the blue logo, but this keyboard is an exception, because the blue of the logo is repeated on the led labels and on the key caps and it looks quite nice.

daedalus · 12 Jul 2011, 00:56

Yeah, I agree with that. That, and drainage channels on a 122-key :3

You now get the ultimate chance to get the version with the gray label NIB!!!

webwit · 12 Jul 2011, 01:02

Man, I bet those are bootleg, made with logos you scored from Unicomp but kept away from us!

LOL!
Just tell me how many you want!

Good night!

webwit · 12 Jul 2011, 01:08

I'm saving for another NIB... my first bid didn't work. First sighting on the internets in new state, you saw it here first.

Nice, a few questions

Can these literally be plugged directly in the PS/2 work and they'll work as is or does it require some kind of converter? I'm not talking about the special keys maybe not registering, but about the regular keys: say a Model M on PS/2 works flawlessly, can I just plug that and expect it to work as my M?

Is this buckling spring over membrane?

Bolt modding with changing keys (like ANSI Enter etc.):
15 EUR / keyboard (without keys)

15 EUR / bolt mod seems cheap seen the time needed to do a bolt mod. Is this somehow easier to do on these terminal boards than on regular model Ms?

I do have a 1397xxx but didn't try it yet. I bought it used for the keycaps
