Hello,

I’ve got myself an wiki/Alcatel_MMK_Keyboard in the USB version. Are there any drivers available to make the extra telephone keys visible / functional in Windows or on a Mac?

Thanks!

I've grabbed this Philips 2876-101 (2875?-101) / 8700 028 76011 / 512 292 3342 some months ago and want to know what I've got at my fingertips now. Although it resembles the X3315, the connector differs in the spacing of the five pins - 45 degrees vs. 60 degrees. My specimen has got a 5-pin XT/AT ...

Are you treating that as PS/2? At that date I would expect HIL.


HIL devices have other connectors and use 12V and can be daisy-chained in ADB fashion. So a HIL keyboard would have two HIL ports: One in, one out. And the C1410A is 5V according to the sticker on it.

But of course that is no ...

The Apollo / Domain workstations, later sold by HP, had their own unique direction pad.
Located on the left side of the keyboard, they sported not only different arrows, but also beside others dedicated Cut/Copy and Undo/Paste keys.

If someone could sell me one for a good price or point me to a ...

Keyboard on EBay. Looks like there had been a trackball installed in it.
The pink switch looks like Rafi RS 76 M.
Keycaps remind a little bit of the Rafi DT01/02.

Looks very nice and beautiful.
I’m looking for one. But, why, oh, why can’t it be an ISO one… even given you find the right keycaps, you can’t make it into a proper QWERTZ keyboard. So I’ll pass.

If everything else fails, I’ve got an Alcatel QWERTZ keyboard (essential a rebranded Acer 6012).
Yellowed, battered case, switches scratchy, located in Germany.
Won’t blame you at all if you say no.

Hello,
I’m looking for an Apollo Domain keyboard out of nostalgia, also. If someone has a second one - the OP comes first! -, preferably QWERTZ and located in Europe, I’m interested.

PM sent.

Really nice. I’ve got a good offer for one, but what interface has it? AT? XT? Proprietary? Do the “dental” keys have any function?
Thx!

Back in the past, while learning my way around Soarer, I just used the keyboard viewer built into the Mac.

Nice. I will save the info for future use.

Anyway, when I need to see which keys are being pressed now I just look in Karabiner’s event viewer.

To see which keys are being pressed on ...

Living near Munich, I’m tempted… but correct me if I’m wrong, I’ll have to figure out the correct wiring and programming an arduino/ATmega or something like that from scratch to make it USB-compatible?
I’ve already built an ADB-USB adapter, but there was ample documentation and instructions on the ...

I’m tempted to give an offer, although this would probably mean trouble with my wife ;-)
The desoldered switch from the numpad has been soldered back in, I assume?
You mentioned that they need “quite a bit of force to actuate”. Can you compare the key feel to some other switches, IBM Model M, Alps ...

No maker or model-number available.

wunderschön! vielleicht wäre da eine "gehirn-transplantation" mit promicro auf der matrix sitzend einfacher. bin da allerdings auch eher laie


Bei unbekanntem Protokoll definitiv einfacher, wenn es dich nicht stört, dass man dabei an der Platine herumlötet ...

Mittlerweile habe ich mit einem ...

Hier meine OEM-Marquardt für einen Bosch-Motorentester MOT 251. Hat eine serielle ASCII-Schnittstelle; jede Hilfe für einen USB-Konverter wäre willkommen. Mangels Dokumentation kenne ich vom Protokoll weder die Bitrate, noch weiß ich, ob Parity-Bit und / oder Start- oder Stop-Bits benutzt werden ...

Habe die Nachfolge-Version in meinem Besitz - man beachte die „Command“-Taste unterhalb der Leertaste! :D
Befindet sich momentan sogar noch mit im Rennen für meinen Daily Driver.

Ist die Tastatur für die NeXT-Rechner von Steve Jobs. Ist für seine Verhältnisse erstaunlich, dass sie überhaupt Pfeiltasten hat ;-)

Hello,
I’m looking for a clicky or tactile NMB Hi Tek “Space Invaders” keyboard with QWERTZ / German layout.
Shipping would be to Germany.

Thanks,
Fritz

Edit: Thanks for your help, I got three offers from users of this forum! And got the keyboard.
Kudos to all of you!

This does infact appear to be the keyboard from a U2900T system. After a bit of digging I did find this brochure but it's incredibly low res and in German. Something something keyboard Keytronic.

I’ve bought a keyboard from the seller without a hitch. Perhaps you should contact him for a suitable converter.

“Funkentstört“ means “No radio interference“
The model is “AKB-2000”; it is mentioned in the Geekhack forum:

The terminal board looks tempting, but no QWERTZ and - are the shipping costs from Ireland to Germany really about 35€?

What is a mitsumi mod?

OK, I’ve found the answer to my own question.
It’s a DS102W from Printec DS.
According to this data sheet (for a slightly different variant with integrated finger mouse) it’s rubber dome (“Principle: Contact by a silicon switch pad with carbon contacts”).

I’ve asked previously if able to identify maker and / or switches of this keyboard.

Since some keys some keys are distinctly sculpted, I’m still hoping someone could help. The form clearly rings a bell in my memory, but I can’t place it…

It’s a “keyguard” for disabled people.
