The Tulip SMK series refers to a range of vintage Tulip keyboards with vintage SMK inverse cross mount mechanical switches and double-shot keycaps.

Description

The keyboard is XT/AT switchable, by way of four DIP switches on the base. These select from the following six configurations:

  • Auto-E
  • E-AT
  • E-XT
  • Auto
  • AT
  • XT

"Auto" works correctly with a Blue Cube PS/2 to USB converter.

Variants

The final two digits of the part number appear to be the layout in terms of international telephone dialling codes. ATK 03.01.44 and Tulip ATK 0302044 are both United Kingdom layout boards and have "44" (as in +44) where the ANSI ATK 02.01.01 has "01". The remaining numbers are not yet identified.

ATK 03.01.44

Tactile switches with white sliders; standard United Kingdom ISO layout.

ATK 02.01.01

Clicky switches with dull brown sliders; United States ANSI layout with big-ass enter and single-unit backspace.[1]
