deskthority

Hi chaps, have lurked for a couple of years but figured deskthority should be first port of call for keyboard clearout. Only a couple of my 'boards will appeal to serious collectors, but those seeking a daily drive might find something useful here for not much $$$. I used to run a bikeshop so packin...

Hi chaps, I just scored an early G80-1800 (UK layout). It's in IBM beige and winkeyless, and has a DIN connector on a curly cable and an XT/AT slider on the base. The vendor said 'MX blues' -- haven't had a chance to check yet, but it's certainly lovely to type on. I edited the corresponding wiki pa...

Thanks everyone, but especially Findecanor -- I should have thought of that one myself. I'm aware of the difficulty (or perhaps impossibility, given mhy limited time) of getting an XT board to hook up to a modern computer. Does anyone know an easy way of checking whether it's AT or XT? Best, W.

Hi chaps, my first tech request. I bought an interesting keyboard off ebay.de last week.

Would kill for a UK or US 84-key model F (probably #6450200, although there are variants). I had one at a crap job about 25 years ago which gave me an original IBM-AT to work on. I've always wished that I'd walked out with it when I left. Make my month! Best, Will / NIftyprose
