I collected some Sun keyboards for a customer, but some are too yellowed for
him to use. They are all complete, including the cable, if it is supposed to
be attached.
I am asking $10 each plus shipping. They are not tested or cleaned. I don't
have any Sun terminals left to test them on.
Type 4, qty 2 (deeply yellowed)
Type 6 USB, Unix, qty 10 (moderate yellowing) 320-1273
Type 6 USB Unix, qty 12 (no or very slight yellowing) 320-1273 asking $20
each plus shipping

Oh perfect timing! What's the interface on the Type 4 cable? 15-pin D
or DIN? I'll probably have one in any case; there are adapters :-)

No cables on the Type 4. Apparently they were removable, and the scrappers took them off.
I need your address for shipping, please. And your email, since it was not included for
some reason.

The type-4 uses miniDIN-8; as far as I know nothing past the type-3
uses DA-15 - after that I think it was miniDIN-8 right up until they
drank the USB koolaid. (I'm sure someone will correct me if not!)
No cables on the Type 4. Apparently they were
removable,
Yes; as far as I know all type-4s have a miniDIN-8 socket on the
keyboard, with the cable being a boring miniDIN-8 on each end, wired
straight through. Some later versions had a cable with one end
permanently wired into the keyboard (as in, you have to disassemble the
keyboard to get it free without cutting it).
(No, I'm not interested in any of the keyboards. If there were any
type-3s on the list, maybe; the type-3 is the only Sun keyboard that's
worth anything to me.)
