"Universal keyboard compatibility" -- bah!
I have working keyboards in my possession that this thing cannot connect to.
- No ADB port for a Mac keyboard
- No Sun Type 5 Mini-DIN
- No PS/2 port
- No PC keyboard port
- No Newton serial keyboard port
- No RJ11 for an LK-201
So much for universal.
- TZubiri 1y agoI'd like to see that collection of keyboards Do you have any interesting layout and language variations?
- dsr_ 1y agoNot really; I have pretty much the "standard" keyboard for each of a bunch of systems. The most interesting thing about them is the range of variability in quality. Some of that is survivorship bias, but I think it's remarkable that the Newton MP2000's keyboard works at all -- as far as Apple products go, it looks like a product of the middle Mac age but feels like the worst membrane HP ever shipped with their bottom-range consumer PCs.
- ciupicri 1y agoBy PC keyboard port are you referring to AT? [1] [1] https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/pc-hardware-in/059600513X/ch19s03s01.html https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/pc-hardware-in/05960051...
- dsr_ 1y agoYes, although I think that one of the keyboards I have is from an XT.
