I liked from these pictures a lot, but then I noticed that Python handbook in one of them..

Not really worried about my hands, but if doing by hand, then accuracy is probably going to be an issue if making a large array of holes.

We'll see. I did use some USB PS/2 adapter in that computer earlier, so just wondered that if it installed some drivers that might mess up. Anyway all Soarer tools are working like they should.

I can double check this. I'm not currently at my workshop, but I'm pretty sure that I connected VCC into 5V line next to ground. Skidata has internal beeper, which I can also hear to beep when keyboard is connected.

When pressing the keys and lookind hid_listen I can still see that when I press key ...

@ohaimark, Thanks from fast reply. I will check these keyboards with some other device / adapter. I just don't have any around, that is actually the reason why I built this adapter. I think I have third PS/2 keyboard somewhere near by that I can test too.

Last time I checked these keyboards were ...

Tool in the picture at least works in a way that small hole is first drilled, then rod (or bolt like in the picture) is put through it and smaller part is screwed to this rod. On the other side is the larger part (cup). Then these two pieces are pulled together, thus tool making the cut between the ...

I have tool similar that is in the picture. Manual version that works with small hydraulic pump. Our company used it in the past for making holes into cabinets etc during installations if cables / antennas etc were needed to be routed and connected inside a metal casing.

I makes a very clean hole ...

Hi,

I know Soarer is a bit obsolete as it's creator is not around, but for me it has been working so far with AT keyboards that I have been using with DIN connector. Now I wanted to hook some PS/2 keyboards using it. Our local electronic store had some Pololu A-Star 32U4 Micro controllers in stock ...

I would love to see ISO ENTER in the kit too. I know it can be obtained other ways too, but all keycap sets that I would like to use this kid has the older "bigass" enter that doesn't fit to moderns keyboards. But sure I can always buy some ISO DE kit as well.

I guess there is no extra ones left? I could sure order one if possible.

I just placed my order too.. Last minute call.

Very sad to hear this, I hope your wife is getting better. I hope you can get things sorted out with PP.

Got the sticker, thanks to matt3o and Halvar. Next problem is where to stick it. Where have others put it?

Meanwhile I have been working too hard and not really following this discussion, but anyway I PM'd Halvar..

Sure this can be done manually by every individual, but not quite the same idea that I was after here.

So it seems, so my offer is then more valid than I originally thought.

I can proxy to Finland no problem, but I'm afraid that I'm the only member here anyway..

Keyboard on the left is IBM 5140, I have some more info about that in here: https://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/ibm-5140-convertible-conversion-t9666.html

Main keyboard is CM QuickFire Rapid-I, which I have given white Plasti Dip treatment and equipped with Ducky Shine White keycaps.

I prefer to ...

Regarding the case my biggest question has been, that should I preserve the original plastic and just build new sides and bottom or make a completely new case including the top plate.

I like to "old IBM" color, so making just sides and bottom from wood (walnut etc) sounds like a compelling idea ...

DT is full of beautiful pictures from keyboards, switches, keycaps etc. From these pictures some are picked to current header image rotation, which is a very nice feature as I really love these high quality pictures that show the details.

Would it make sense to create a separate wallpaper pool from ...

My home office looks like this at the moment:

In my TODO list is to install the main screen to a wall mount and at the same time arrange all cables better that are currently behind it, so I'll get rid ...

This is how my board looks currently:

Been a while since I have been updating this thread. I got the keyboard working in the end, but forgot to update progress into here. Also last year I had some personal issues which required me to take some time off from computers and keyboards, so this project as well all other DT activity were in ...

Its probably overpriced but isn't that some dolch variation on the right?

Gray one looks like it's from some old portable computer, not sure from which model tho. Layout doesn't match ...

Yeah, shipping could be a bit less expensive. My configuration seems to be 432 USD shipped, but I will still take it.

If there's any other Finns placing orders, I'm quite sure we can work something out regarding the shipping. Shipping from Finland to other European countries doesn't make much sense ...

Thanks from the info. I paid 1 EUR, so it was worth it.

I bought this Compaq RT102 keyboard today. It's not the same RT102 as we know and which is described in the Wiki, but some earlier pre-DEC era keyboard (old Compaq logo etc). I should get the keyboard later this week and I will then know more, but does anybody know into which model this keyboard is ...

Thanks from the info. Seems that I'm out of excuses, meaning that order will take place!

I must say that I haven't seen keyboard this beautiful for a long time. I would definitely placing order if it just would support ISO..
