part#	42H1292
serial#	(multiples available)
date	1/29/96 (12 years old)
IBM logo	blue text on gray label
origin	Manufactured for IBM by Lexmark.  Made in the USA
cable	attached, straight cable, ps/2 connector
key caps	two-piece removable (key cap + key stem)
key switches	clicky = buckling spring
	Designed when "real" typing on a quality keyboard was a required skill to use a $5000 IBM personal computer. (pre-dates the then new mouse-click and graphical user interface operating system later to be known as Microsoft Windows 3.1 and 95)
comments	Keyboard is a 42H1292 keyboard made in 1996.  Similar in construction to earlier Lexmark-made keyboards (52G9658, 52G9700, 82G2383) with integrated drainage channels but with "simplified" internal wiring and keyboard controller and smaller LEDs that  contrasts from earlier model M keyboards (1985 - 1994).  Additional features include permanently attached, straight ps/2 keyboard cable and one-color key printing on key caps, but includes two-piece key caps and key stems. It would be unfair to call these units as used or refurbished items as they are very clean on exterior and interior surfaces and show zero physical signs of previous use.  No additional cleaning was necessary.  All items were carefully tested and re-tested. (however, since they are not in their original IBM cardboard boxes, we would neither claim nor sell them as "brand new, never been used) and we are selling at discounted rate.
comments	Keyboard in 100% perfect condition. Very nice addition for those who appreciate a true mechanical buckling spring keyboard in perfect, new condition.
