    Here is the link to the Teensy modification. I think I'll jump for that old IBM XT, the AT seems to be hard to find and the XT is already quite expensive.

    I briefly thought about selling 2 (yes, two!) whole boards (both Filcos too) but alas the Filcoholism was too strong and they're now not for sale any more...

    I might be selling a G80-3000 with blues soon though if anyone's interested :p

    Shirty is like everyone's mad uncle. Not sure if that's good or bad.

    I'll try and find some boards to test, but I'll probably get browns on your recommendation guys. I definitely don't want something too loud.

    If it was black I would have had it in an instant... Or ANSI layout... (or both)

    there was a real nice G80-1856HQMGB on ebay eariler in the week, I nearly won it and then didn't :( made me sad. But I did get a few spite bids in in the last seconds, which would of made it more expensive for the buyer, so if that was any of you, i'm not sorry I really wanted it haha.

    Whats the bottom row shirty? winkey or winkeyless?

    I was going to use it as my work board, but I seem to have just ordered a Cheese 'n' Chives with blues instead :worried:

    Qwer.io - get your stabs there, cheap, they got stock, happy days :)

    I have stabs, though, most of the time I need them so I don't really want to get rid of any.

    whats boards are you building?

    Yeah - do tell! What are you building? Stabs are one of those things that if you got 'em, keep 'em!
