I'm in the market for a converter. I like to have the best of everything... I think we all do.

The little blue cube converter commonly available is cheap and cheery, but how does that compare to the Soarer's converter?

I plan to use the converter with an IBM model F SSK hooked up to an iMac.

With best, and happy new year to you all from Dubai,

With Soarer's converter you can remap keys, with a Blue Cube you can't. There was a thread arround currently, which shows a cheap way to build a Soarer's converter for something like 8$.

i am more interested to know where you found a model F SSK

Slip of the tongue, I'm sure. SSKs are the best Model Ms out there. But they aren't to be confused with the 4704 series…

Check classifieds. There are some for sale.

Indeed. Slip up. Model M ssk.

The blue cube is working nicely for me... but is there any way to change its name? I guess not, its presently called USBPS2 and I'd prefer IBM SSK

i don't think so , but then again it does have a tiny 8 bit micro there may be a way to get into it

does anyone know by the way of a 1/2 decent one that does both keyboard and mouse ? i need some for the KVM in the rack in work
