I hope so. As much as I'd like testing out different keyboards, I am more than happy to part with the ones I don't use and that live their life in a closet!

Thanks for the support

Wyse PCE - Very good condition.
Sold outside DT

Wyse 85 - Very good condition, not clean but looks lightly used. Comes in its box with padding. I'll provide and additional box for shipping.
Asking 65€ + shipping

Pics for both Wyse boards are here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders ...

Time has come to give a few duplicate boards a new owner who might put them to good use.
I am selling an IBM M122 I got a while ago, in decent condition but in need of restoration.
Please find the pictures at the following Gdrive link .
- The metal plate is in good condition, some signs of oxidation ...

Saw the update on the website and I was also very pleased to see so many new models. The F122 is very tempting, indeed... 420€ + shipping + customs are quite less tempting...
Honestly, I wonder why the 122-key versions were not made that way since the beginning of the project.

Model K? 8-)
That's ...

Is it for free?

Very nice! How (When) can I book a "test drive"?

Good morning people of the keebs, I have come across a Unicomp 122-key terminal keyboard (no lock lights) with PS/2 connector from 1999, no info from the seller until now, no luck in searching part number on the label.
Any clue if this could be a BS board? Or just a big rubber dome?

And here they are! Spare switches just arrived to my desk.
Thanks Inozenz!

My holiday never began so, time for a DM.

I can see why you would need a vacation from MY

Just a split second after I posted my comment I thought: "How much will it take to see a MY switch joke?". Well, not so much ...

Well, then MY vacation begins! So see you at the end of August (now I need a calendar reminder...) and have a nice holiday.

Great, I think I'll get 10 switches if they still fit within the same shipping cost. A whole board is too much (I hope...) but thanks for your offer. I'll PM you for details if you don't mind.

Any news? I have to collect materials for next winter, when I'll finally be able to spend some time restoring a few boards I bought (or maybe not? Or maybe selling some boards? Who knows...)

i have a board which i completely dismanteled exactly for this case. if you need just 1 you only need to pay shipping if you want more, a good price would be 0,5€ each.

Well, I was pretty sure you would jump in the discussion! :D
Could you estimate the shipping cost for a small box/bag with ...

Hi there!
I am looking for a few spare Space Invaders black clicky switches (just one would be enough but I'd be happy to get a few more).
I recently got a nice NOS PC122 keyboard that, unfortunately, has one switch with a broken slider.
The broken slider is the Numpad minus, that should not get ...

Too bad you're on the other side of the ocean... I'd really need a couple of spares!

Well, let's see if I can get a good deal on the board...
Thanks for helping, I'll post updates if I end up buying the board.
However, your great mod/investigation on the PC 122 and the board itself should go on the wiki, the model seems undocumented.

Like jsheradin stated the only real way to know is if you open it up and there is a voltage regulator. Otherwise, all other versions of the PC122 Rev. C should either speak XT/AT.
I have also replaced the controller with another refurbished chip instead of using a teensy. See here for more ...

I cleaned up a crusty NMB PC-122 a while ago if this is what you're looking for:

Just a little necro, but I wasn't able to find other references...
I have some questions, if OP doesn't mind answering after all this time ;)
1. Did the board come with RJ-11 connector (aka phone jack)?
2. If so ...

Yeah, the boards are being delivered everywhere! I got mine, too, a couple of days ago. Can't you hear the clicks and the clacks all over the place?
Great job Inozenz!

Same as mine, it works as I described in my previous post (it's a bit "picky", so to speak, about boards it likes to cooperate with).

I'll betcha it's the converter.

I have had a similar problem but, in my experience, it was a combination of keyboard and converter. The same cheap gadget that works flawlessly on a couple of keyboards I use constantly (a RD BTC and a Model M, for example) was instead creating the exact same ...

If you ask me, that's a pretty weird request. It was seller's mistake, the refund was nice of him but you shouldn't be supposed to destroy the keyboard. Maybe propose a small payment which would avoid you the hassle to break the keeb and show the actual destruction? After all you might still make ...

The board I was looking forward to try, at the right time I wanted to try it... Pm'ing in a while...

The current owner of Deskthority has locked out the mods. I'd ask to have this comment stickied, because we get these questions quite often, but that would require a mod :|

I know, although I'm quite new here. I understand the situation is not ideal for genuine users and it's probably going to ...

Oh, right. Less dangerous for forum users but poisoning "the algorhytm".
Maybe nobody told before but... there should be mods cleaning up this mess
Either this or plan the migration.

The only "trap" I can see of this specific spammer is in his signature (so DON'T CLICK ANYWHERE IN IT if you see it somehow). Regardless of the metohd they use, the purpose is the same: getting a curious user to click something that shouldn't be clicked.
