I was at my local thrift shop, and, get this, my wife bullied me into buying a keyboard. I had pointed it out to her because of its apparent age, given its use of a DIN180 plug0, but I had not been particularly interested in it because it is clearly a dome-with-slider board. What interested her was the presence of Japanese (I think) characters on the board. Took it home, hooked it into the Tinkerboy DIN180 converter I typically connect my IBM Battleship into, and while some things were wonky attributing to it being custom setup for my Battleship, all the keys fired.
It is the quietest keyboard I've ever used; that being said, I'm not fond of its typing feel at all; given I'm a Buckling Spring guy, I'm sure that's not surprising. Way too little force to actuate, and while there is some tactility, it is limit.
Looking for info on a ACK-200...
