Re: mechanical keyboard optimized for the IBM i gaming professional -- MIDRANGE-L

I have this one up and running:

http://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/xt-at-ps2-terminal-to-usb-converter-with-nkro-t2510.html

This way you can use your IBM terminal keyboard with your PC without
salvaging the connector and use it on both. Minor soldering experience
required though, but in return you get the real thing.

That brought back memories...

the first job I had programming...my boss had me write a program to play
Solitaire on a desktop S/36.

I once installed and ran Solitaire from the IFS, just to see if I could do
it.

It worked, but was real sloooooooow.

The way I read this post it seemed to indicate you could run games on the
IBM i.

My mind quickly flashed to an ASCII based version of pong. Ha!

action with easy to locate FPS keys.

You deserve the best! Now, back to gaming!!
