Hey guys! I'm working on using QMK to convert my 5291 using a Pro Micro

What is the equivalent pinout?

Hey all!

I picked up this keyboard a bit ago, but I've been too busy to get it converted.
I'm wanting to do an external converter, does anyone know the pinouts?

I saw this on Craigslist, but can't afford it.

If you find a few hundreds of Model F and Unsavers in their secret junkyard, there is no excuse to live in a small apartment any more.

But flooding the market with these rare finds will definitely disturb their market values.

If I find a few hundred F's and Unsavers I will buy a shipping ...

Will do!

I would have, but I'm living in a small apartment and don't have room for them. I barely have room for all of these M's! General apology to everyone who wanted a system!

I understand, good work and thanks for sharing. I have a feeling this is as close as we're ever coming to any IBM-internal ...

That is a disappointed no.

I am working at IBM as a Systems Test Engineering intern for 8 months and they learned that I like keyboards. Thus, they took me to their old manufacturing facility and said grab any keyboard you see...

Ahhmmm...W H A T...!??!? :o :shock: :roll:

Tell us about the manufacturing facility...and ...

Holy. shit.

..you are as lucky as one can be I must say!

And straight from the Big Blue??!! Holy shit.

I'm really curious if they have anything else. IBM-PCs, PS/2, Mainframe stuff... holy shit.

I'd piss myself if I got hold of a connection like that! No joke.

I would have taken pictures ...

Impressive find! Super jealous because I'm at a new job for eight months and couldn't bring my Z-150 with me.

I came expecting a few posts about the keyboard. What I got was so much better! Thank you for the detailed description and pictures!

Wow, that's a unique design. I've been interested in the idea of a left numpad recently, due to ergonomics, but had never thought about a left nav cluster.

Wow! That's looking really nice!

I understand why some people would be frustrated about the quality issues, but they did make a keycap that I would actually put on my keyboard. I want my keyboards to look clean and professional, not something that should be hiding in the nightmare where the artist found their inspiration.

I love looking at Honeywell board! Any hopes on an (external) converter?

You didn't press the space bar! That's the only reason keyboards are worth it!

I second the motion of saving the terminal! Any volunteers?

I nominate _red_ with his barn find IBM 3741 Data Station. He is doing a lot of hard work on it and it's making good progress!

Those caps look great!

A GUI option Is better, many like code more than a GUI..

If it could be where you could do general mapping with a gui then push a button to flash it, that would be a huge improvement in the usability. You could even add in a way for people to modify the code or import their own!

I was looking for a G80-9009, they are my weakness, and stumbled upon this on Taobao. It appears to be an internal converter for the keyboard. Has anybody else seen it?

Interesting! I also second the motion for making a video!

Thanks! I wish I could buy these, but my computer is dying on me! Can't use your keyboards if you don't have a computer

Just some questions, a little short of money, but high in curiosity.

The Aristotle board, does it work?
The unknown keyboards, do they work? Do they come as a bundle for a total of 50 eur?
The Swedx case, does it fit that board with the yellow colored Alps mount switches?
The AMJ60, does it work ...

How have you found so many beamsprings?

What does it sound like? Can you post a video?
