Xwhatsit for Beamspring - any available?

I am looking for sources to buy a XWhatsit controller for Beamspring keyboards.
If you have any ideas, please let me know.

Yeah, I need one too. Orihalcon told me he would have more in about 4 weeks, about 4 weeks ago. So, we should follow up with him.

He told me there is an issue with getting parts sourced at this time.

Orihalcom told me last Christmas he would have them in stock in a few months

I don't want to talk shit about Orihlalcon, but he is pretty slow to everything lol. Sometimes no reply for 3 weeks i have to follow up again just to get things started. I assume he is quite busy...

I need a controller too. I just got an IBM 5251 keyboard.

Hi,

I have ordered all parts in the cart and also ordered the blank PCB (ordered everything to be able assembling two).
Once I have it, I will give it a shot and if all goes well, I will give a quick update and guide.

Orihalcon restocked some Beamspring controllers. They seem to be flying off the shelf, though, so act fast.
