Keyboard from 2010 built by TG3 for a Siemens chemistry analyzer. I cleaned it up, added some weight to the bottom, and converted to USB. Cherry MX Black and PBT Dye-subbed DCS caps. Take a peek at what should be F9 and F10 (and are after conversion), as well as some of the keys above the numpad, which, tangentially, now has 5 keys that do absolutely nothing related to what’s written on them.
Hey, TI99/4a bro!
That was also my first computer. Did you have the sweet voice synthesizer that sounded kinda like the AI from Wargames?
Nope, could not afford that. I didn’t even have a casette player to save what I wrote on that machine, at least at the beginning.
Aww, that’s too bad. It was a total gimmick, but it was actually used by a lot of the (very subpar) games. Later in the TI99/4a life they were selling it super cheap or bundling it with games, which is how we got it. You could even get it to saw words directly from TI BASIC.
