H Hugh9191 New Member Dec 27, 2008 #4 Yea, its older than me. It does sound loud, like typing on a typewriter. It was in quite good condition when I got it (found it at a jumble sale!). But I have taken off all the keys and cleaned it properly to get all the grime off it.

H Hugh9191 New Member Dec 27, 2008 #6 surprisingly it has the ps/2 connection. Thanks for the article. I'll keep that incase it doesn't work on future builds. It really is a great keyboard. It has a curly wire!!!!!
