[FS/IC] Pre-made converters, 20 USD + shipping

Hi,

I'm working on pre-made Pro Micro based converters for vintage keyboards.
I'm currently able to do IBM AT/XT/Terminal (240 and 180 degree DIN).
I'm able to make converters for other keyboards - if there's enough demand, firmware and a female socket I can make it.

It would cost 20 USD (about £14.36 / €16.57). Shipping to the UK is £3.60 and includes tracking.
International shipping is 5 USD via untracked airmail or 13.50 USD via tracked airmail, price is the same for every country in the world.

Let me know what you think of this and if you'd be interested in it.

Will these run Soarer's converter firmware? Like Orihalcon does on his converters?
Yes, they will.

How much would shipping to the European Union be, if you consider it?

I'm willing to ship worldwide. It's 5 USD for untracked shipping, 13.50 USD for tracked shipping.
I've updated the OP to clarify this.

"I'm currently able to do IBM AT/XT/Terminal (240 and 180 degree DIN)."

Photos would be nice, to see how these compare to Orihalcon's work!

I'll post some photos as soon as the extra parts arrive, which will hopefully be early next week.
These aren't as nice as Orihalcon's, but I think they look alright.

Long as they look fine enough, consider me interested as well.

This is interesting; all of my main computers are PS/2 capable but I do have a few that aren't and I don't know if my next computer will be as nice. Would like to see a finished product!

Parts are still in transit, might be waiting another few days for them to arrive. Sorry for the delay.
Once they arrive, I'll assemble a converter and post some pictures here.
