Sorry for the smattering of typos in my messages as of late. With the weather we've been having and my diabetic neuropathy flaring up, my fingers aren't cooperating as much as they used to. Then again, I have a crappy keyboard.

I want to get one of the new Model Ms that are being made: https://www.pckeyboard.com/page/product/NEW_M

Not cheap but well worth it.

I would agree with you. I am still using the keyboard I got with a DELL computer two generations ago. It is old enough that it only has a PS/2 connection. Hence I have to use a special cord where one end accepts
the PS/2 plug and the other end is a USB connector. Touch and feel is
much better than any keyboard I have seen since. I have two spares that
are cheap, thin, plastic with almost no touch feel to them.

Not cheap but well worth it.

I can see that. It is what I would end up doing if this keyboard gave
up the ghost.

I asked Unicomp if they could build a 101-key Model M for me (without
the three Windows keys) and they said they could not. I need to ask
them if they can make cables for my Model Ms I have--I have three--to
convert them to USB or, at the least, get them working.

Not cheap but well worth it.

I can see that. It is what I would end up doing if this keyboard gave
up the ghost.

I am getting busy with the BBS again. I am also porting my BBS doors to
a doorkit that will allow me to create DOS, OS/2, Win32, Win64, Linux64,
and WINServer native versions from a single source code (I have build
VMs for all the OSes). That means a LOT of typing. So if I get an
income, I will definitely buy a new Model M for that. Unicomp also
makes a lot of other keyboards that can fit all sorts of situations but
for me, the full-size keyboard will be the best.

Are they PS2 now? Do a search on Amazon "ps2 to usb keyboard adapter"
and you will catch a number of potential converters.

If you have PS-2 keyboards here's a URL to all manner of adapters.

https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=ps2+to+usb+adapter

I'm using one I bought years ago from the now defunct Radio Shaft/Shack
with my KeyTronic model M knock-off - which was a lot le$$ money and has
pretty much the same feel as my long-gone (stolen) Model M or my Amiga
(Cherry buckle spring) keyboard.

Title: Pork Chops w/Cherry Pan Sauce Recipe
Categories: Pork, Herbs, Fruits, Wine
Yield: 4 Servings

MMMMM-------------------------PORK CHOPS------------------------------
1 tb Oil
4 Bone-in center-cut pork
- chops; 3/4" thick/8 - 9
- ounces each
1 1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Ground black pepper
1/2 ts Garlic powder

MMMMM-------------------HERB-CHERRY PAN SAUCE------------------------
2 c Halved sweet cherries;
- pitted; fresh or thawed
1 ts Chopped fresh thyme leaves
+=OR=+
1/2 ts Dried thyme
pn (big) salt
1 c Tawny Port wine *
2 tb Unsalted butter

SEASON THE PORK CHOPS: Sprinkle the pork chops on both
sides with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Cook the pork chops: Heat the oil in a large skillet
over medium to medium-high heat.

Add the pork chops two at a time, so as to not crowd the
pan, and cook until browned on the first side, 4 to 5
minutes. Flip pork chops over and cook on other side for
3 to 4 minutes more.

Transfer to a tray or platter and cover with foil to
keep warm. (You can also put them in a low oven if you
wish.) Repeat with the remaining pork chops, adding more
oil to the pan if dry.

MAKE THE HERB-CHERRY PAN SAUCE: Add the cherries, thyme,
and salt to the pan and cook so they start to release
their juices and soften, scraping up the stuck-on bits
on the bottom of the pan, 3 to 4 minutes.

Add the Port and let simmer until reduced by about half,
10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the butter until emulsified
and the sauce is nice and glossy. Taste and adjust with
more salt to taste.

SERVE: Serve the pork chops with the sauce on the side
for diners to spoon on their plates or over their chops.

Enjoy!

Worked well, AFAICS - UDD
