The only difference is that you can't remove the key tops like you could
with an original Model M.
Speaking of key tops, most of what I've seen out there is one bit of plastic
keycap, but this IBM I'm typing on seems to have a two-part approach to
things. I know this because the "-" key on the numeric pad is missing the
upper portion, the one with the "-" on it, so what's there is both a
" "
key and also smaller than all the rest of them.
Anybody got a spare "-" handy?

I use an IBM model M with a PS2-to-USB converter
:o)
I use a Unicomp Customizer. It's black/silver and has native USB. It
also uses the famous IBM/Lexmark buckling-spring mechanism.
