work and even got the great northgate keyboard too for only $20!
heh, you oughta go back to the guy and ask him if he'd be willing to buy
comparable 386 and 486 models for half his asking price. i could find some
pretty cheap machines and make profit off him!
A bit of a tangent ...
I have two old Northgate keyboards that I can't even think about parting
with. So they've come along as the basic box has been replaced several
times. But I have a problem with what I think is switch bounce. Pressing a
key frequently generates two or three of the letter/symbol. This is not the
normal 'repeat' thing, but occurs instantly.
Has anyone tracked down this problem???
