Hi guys! A friend motivated me to post my mod in this website.
I've read a lot here,(nice wiky!) but never post anything
This mod wouldn't be possible without the help of Soarer (god of keyboards, kicked rubberdomers from our land thousand years ago)
The keyboard used;

No no, I got it for free

Congratulations Retrete! Glad to see you posting the results of your great mod. What you have done it's great, taking a vintage piece of hardware that was useless (you explained us back at MV all the details about it
) and bringing it back to life, providing it with a totally new purpose.
For me it would be even a greater piece of hardware if you would combine such a display/keyboard combo with some tiny computing device inside, such a Raspeberry Pi, for example.

I don't discard installing a new computer inside, in a near-future I'll try to install my actual comp inside of it, and if it seems to work well, install a proper one
The 739x730 resolution could be considered an advantage xD.

Very nice. Gave me a great idea for my raspberry pi. I even have an old monochrome CRT lying around.
