I recently discovered several French AZERTY keyboards (AT&T 305B) that I'm interested in selling. But first I need to check that they work. I know about Passmark's Keyboard Tester and several browser testers but none of them have an AZERTY layout. I can still test them with a standard QWERTY layout but I thought it would be a little more straight forward if the software understood AZERTY. Does such a thing exist? Thanks.

Bonsoir

First off, I'm really surprised you found such keyboards in AZERTY, post pics please !!

Second, AZERTY is only determined by the computer, if it works in QWERTY, it will work in AZERTY. As such, any of those keyboard testers are enough proof that they work (just make sure every key is pressed and responds, you might have some trouble with the >< and μ*, but even if they both give \|, that means they work)

I discovered a pile of these under a deck in Massachusetts at a computer charity I have been working for. My understanding is that many years ago they wanted to ship some computers to Haiti and ordered some French keyboards. By the time they got them, they had already shipped the computers so they just left them in their basement. They have apparently been there for years and were never opened. Unfortunately the original cardboard boxes were rank and had to be disposed of but the boards look like they are in good condition.

This is really cool! Nice find.
