Re: PS/2 to USB

I'm surprised that they are charging only $59! If you've ever taken apart a
Model M, you can see all the parts inside. Looks like Unicomp started up with
some ex-Lexmark/IBM types when Lexmark could no longer manufacture the Model M
cost effectively... Ben

Hi!

I too am much interested in this subject, because my fingers work very
well
with that Stradivarius of keyboards, the 101-key beige IBM clickity-clack
keyboard (last made in 1994).

They are still made...not by IBM, nor Lexmark...but by a little outfit
called Unicomp.

Unfortunately, the day will come when there is no longer any way to attach
this keyboard to a modern computer. I dread it, because I will have to
be
retrained completely...

You can still get them, and yes--there is a USB version!
