Re: WTB: Altair 680, Any Condition, Any Configuration
Yes, that's Grant Stockly's site. As far as I know, he's not currently making any kits. Further, he's had several of my S-100 boards for, at this point, years, and seems to be unwilling to return them to me. I recently contacted him about purchasing the design documents for the Altair 680 Kit. I haven't heard back. Grant, if you're reading these emails and just not responding, please give me a reply or a phone call -- you have my email address and phone number.

WTB: Altair 680, Any Condition, Any Configuration
All, I'm looking for an Altair 680. I've been working with Jeff Albrecht's A680 during the RAM board design process, and would like to continue working on a few things for the 680, but I'd also like to send Jeff's machine back to him! Configuration is not particularly important to me. I'd like something with a non-rev 0 motherboard in it if possible -- the easiest way to tell is that there will be a slot for the expansion riser. Front panel vs. turnkey, branding, etc. are not important to me. I'd potentially be interested in even an empty case! Thanks, Jonathan

Thanks!! For non-classic stuff (e.g. modern computers for work) I use DAS Keyboards. They have several models including a Mac version. They use cherry mechanical key switches. I have 3 and I’m very pleased with how they feel. TTFN - Guy

I realized the beauty of mechanical keyboards earlier this year, and I am gradually changing my workflow to returning to using them. This includes acquiring a small collection for comparison purposes, availability, and, more interestingly, RE work that involves the PS/2 protocol. I've searched the web for the PCK105-SKB but I have been unable to find a proper description or even images. Normally I use ISO UK or Apple Mac UK layout, but a US layout is good too. Please could you point me to details about these keyboards? Thanks!! Kind regards, Andrew -- OpenPGP key: EB28 0338 28B7 19DA DAB0 B193 D21D 996E 883B E5B9

Now that I have the benefits of hindsight, it's clear to see the design flaws. The biggest being lack of a general expansion bus, only purpose built slots... Warner >

Unisys keyboards
Two Unisys PCK105-SKB look unused, but one is yellowed. Sorry, I forgot to describe them as keyboards. Thanks, Paul
