I'm looking at converting my 122 key Model M to ANSI. I know you can do this on regular model M's but as there was never an ANSI layout terminal is it also the case with them?

It is posible.
BTW, two of these are waiting for woody and me at theferenc's home.
PS: Just ask him over at GeekHack, maybe he can ship them to you.

Don't go on GH anymore, and already got one. So the membrane has the right bits underneath? Just I don't want to bolt mod a board without any missing rivets unless I can do the mod.

As far as I remember, there is an extra contact under the Back Space key, one under right Shift, but the key left to Return (\|) is the same as one above Return. The numpad keys don't have extra contacts.

yes, everything you need is there. just swap the springs, inserts, and caps.

Cool, now just to find some caps.
