A colleque yesterday calls me and said, that he found one for me in the PC-junk at the basement of the building he is working in. Hopefully it is one which is 1.) fully working and 2.) with german keyboard layout. Fingers crossed. Currently I am using a Cherry MX 1000 G80 keyboard -- since 15 years now without any kind misfunctional behaviour (I mean: the keyboard shows no misfunction... ;). It is one with a big roung AT-connector (pre PS2-era). The typewriter sound "project" is just kind of joke: I am=20 imaging the face of people on the phone, when I say: "Oh,=20 wait a moment...I will look into the database..." and then: "clack, clackclack, clack, clackclackclack" -- they will here a typewriter . Happy hacking! best regards, mcc PS: Here is a nice description of the "buckling spring" mechanism in action: http://www.plope.com/Members/chrism/25_years_of_the_model_m
