TODO

Writing this down here should be more convenient than piling up tabs in Firefox until I run out of RAM.

• The remaining alien content in Category:Cherry terminal keyboards should be copied elsewhere or turned into a template. The latter is more elegant but requires deciding on a new template category.
• Commodore Amiga is still a mess.
• Maybe track down (WM) and adapt ripster's guides. He gave his permission already.
• Reorganize the Category:Pointing devices tree to mimic Category:Keyboards.
• Document the rest of popular 8-bit computer keyboards.
• No more unlicensed pictures floating around underway

Tidbits

Format of Model M/F barcode-style labels

This is as good a start as any, and sharktastica provides inspiration too.

DATE DDMMMYY PT•NO•nnnnnnn
 ID NO•iiiii EC•NO•eeeee
 PLT•NO•pp MODEL M
       (barcode)
* I B M ff nnnnnnn gg iiiii *

where

• nnnnnnn = P/N
• iiiii = S/N
• eeeee = enhancement/tech number
• pp = plate ID
• ff = unknown (factory ID?)
• gg = unknown, maybe a S/N complement

To be (much) expanded.
