my hand restored '88 model m 1391401 just came in from new jersey. omg. it's gorgeous. the tactile feedback from the buckling springs is hot, reminds me of my very first IBM PS/2

I got a model M, they are nice if you can find a PS/1 to PS/2 to USB adapter

Do you mean DIN5 to PS/2?
my new model m just came in... - OmegaZero_Alpha - Nov 22, 2008
yeah ,I had an adapter at one point that referred to it as a PS/1 way back when and have been referring to it as that ever since.
probably made by ignorant Chinese people and filled with lead.

It could've been called PS/1 at some point, I don't know. I've just never heard that before.

yeah i'm getting a little older 1390131 that requires an AT to PS/2 cable
is that the model m you are referring to? because i'd be happy to take it off your hands..

the Din5 connectors were used with IBM keyboards bundled with the PS/1, before the change in form factor from AT to ATX.

Enjoy the clickity goodness Zeit. I get a kick that my Model Ms are the oldest *working* computer parts that I have. And I think PS/2 ports will be around for a good long while.

mine is is pretty good shape (it has been used in an office environment so it has discoloration, but that is the extent of that.)
I don't ever use it, but I don't plan on getting rid of it. (ps. I can't stand flat keyboards)

waste of 80 dollars IMO
