Type M IBM Keyboard in Q [aka Re: [rescue] rediscovering simple pleasures.. (old IBM keyboards)]

[Michael Free]

I'm *Not* talking about the POS 88 key junk that had the 8 pin connectors,
I'm talking about the nice Northgate knockoff 101 key enhanced that came
with the later machines.

There's a difference, realize it or not.
