Looks like an interesting keyboard, unfortunately only for Pick Up.

I once bought one of these Silicon Graphics boards you mention last: not a yet a granite, but one of the earlier not-ps/2 compatible boards.

I have had one too.

Apparently, some beige SGI keyboards speak PS/2 and some speak SGI's proprietary protocol but with a cable that looks like PS/2. You need to know the model number to tell.

seller doesn't ship. After I asked several times to ship and even offered more money, seller added "KEIN VERSAND, NUR ABHOLUNG"

So if somebody is from Unterhaching, this is your chance to get some cheap dye-sub keycaps.

Me and scottc ran across a bunch of em in a bin

There's actually three more o2s off camera, but they have had their ram taken out/cases absolutely destroyed.

[scottc]

There are three o2s without RAM off-screen too...

[wheybags]

wow dem reflexes

[trankzen]

I used to be fascinated by those. My father used to work in the automotive industry, and they had Indys and O2s scattered around in CAD offices, along with Sun Sparcstations, or Ultrasparcs. Some old DEC here and there, and of course Crays in the serious computing room.

One day my dad brought back a IBM RS/6000 complete with the 20inch, 60lbs P200 CRT monitor. All salvaged form the bin. I was really happy then, though I can't remember what model the keyboard was or whatever I made of it.

You lucky bas****....

I would really like a Indigo² case, just the case.. for some future project, but I don't know if can even justify the cost of shipping one of those, if you would even be willing to sell. SGI's are usually heavy.

I have an o2, we used them years ago for prepress production. One machine i saved from the trash, and also the keyboard - which is unfortunately not that good. It has a weird color. The case (of the o2) itself is great, with a modular design.

They are heavy as shit. Also, if you destroyed a working indigo2 for the case, I woul be required to kill you :p

I wouldn't even suggest destroying a working Indigo². Don't accuse me of blasphemy against the church of the almighty SGI!
.. But sometimes you would have to scavenge parts from two of something to get one working system, and there would be leftovers.

Seems someone did see the light with the industrial SSK hitting $1100 lately...:

Doesn't have a badge though. And I leave it up to you IBM experts to decide whether this is an original one, I don't know anything about those... GL.

NIB Industrial SSK: the holy trinity! But where are the blue keys?

[t!ng]

Beauty. Where is the logo sticker?

[Muirium]

For a "new in box" keyboard, it seems a little modified, doesn't it?

[t!ng]

could be a normal ssk with custom shell that you could buy some time ago. neat idea...

it has the correct bottom-shell and also the correct sticker. I think it's a real industrial. But no idea why it has no sticker. Maybe the customer wanted it like that.

Seems to be in very good condition, Alps switches. Focus FK-2002.

offtopic: I really love that photo Muirium

[photekq]

offtopic: I want that wingnut Muirium

[Muirium]

Thanks, and never! Wingnuts come with a EULA from a certain duck, requesting that you neither sell nor give them to anyone. If they go anywhere, it's back to DT.

[Dubsgalore]

Winguts are cool clacks

I wonder what it would take to win an award next year....

Well, I don't know if we're exactly great minds, but we do think quite alike!
