Which IBM terminal keyboard is this? Switch type? Teensy/Soarer compatible? The PN is 6052101. Made in 1986.

That's one of the keyboards for the Model C terminal family. As far as I know there's no converter for it, it needs a new controller. It's like the XT Model F in that the controller's on the same PCB as the switch matrix.

Thanks. Does it have buckling spring capacitive switches like the XT?

Yes, it uses the capacitive buckling springs like other Model F keyboards.

It is mine!


Give it to me!!!!!!!!!


I ordered it from the taobao group buy which never took off!

It's from the IBM 3178 terminal.

Quite handsome, actually. Do you know what the 6019284 / Kishsaver's original system looked like, Daedalus?

KIshy himself has some great pics

IBM 4704.

Thanks. Looks like there were several screen sizes, and Kishy has the dinkiest:



Knowing how small that keyboard is (about the same size as a modern TKL) that baby monitor is insane!

It's a Dick Tracy wrist monitor.
