Do modern computers even have the ports needed to work with it. I seem to remember keyboards used to use some kind of round connector not USB.

@DuckyMcDuckFace It uses the PS/2 port, so most modern components don't support it. You can get an adapater for $5 that fixed the issue.

At my previous job, I found an old keyboard with the old style DIN connector!

@starrynights89 Well damn, I should have sold it! Too bad it was company property >_<

Root825206y@starrynights89 Ahh ps/2.
I remember them using a DIN9 port.
They're nice to type on and very solidly built. Ugly as crap though. 7/10, do recommend. -
@Root Apple's Macintosh wins for the best looking computer of the 80's. Say whatever you want about Jobs but he knew how to make a computer have sex appeal.

Got this old girl from a reseller on Ebay. I wanted to know if they were worth the hype.
It was made in Aug `89, my birthday. It's almost 30 years old and will likely outlive me.
