Hello. I recently got an IBM Model F XT from the recycling center. I'm running it on my PC with a Soarers converter and it works great. The only problem is I can't get the Print Screen to work. I've tried Shift, Ctrl, Alt, and Num Lock, but all I get are asterisks. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Soarer's converter does not support it, though you can modify it. I have a link somewhere, I'll try to get it for you ASAP, it explains it all very well and programmability of the Soarer's converter.

Thanks, Myoth! I tried remapping the keys from some post on Reddit, but I really couldn't follow it. If I could remap some other keys to what I need, then this gem could truly be my daily driver.

The * key on your F XT keyboard is probably sending the PAD_ASTERIX scan code. You will probably have to do a macro to bind LSHIFT+PAD_ASTERIX to PRINT_SCREEN (and another one so RSHIFT+PAD_ASTERIX will do the same).
