IBM Model M keyboard on a modern PC with the Soarer's Converter!

Support Veronica Explains: https://support.linux.mom Buy my t-shirt: https://vkc.sh/merch My new keyboard is nearly as old as I am! In this exciting episode of Veronica Explains, I share my most recent vintage computing find, an actual factual IBM Model M keyboard! This keyboard - an IBM Model M 1390131 to be precise - is a legend for excellent feel and longevity- this one is from 1986 and feels (and sounds) like a dream. It's not just show-and-tell in today's episode, though- I'll be going into how I got it set up with my modern USB-only computer using a Soarer's Computer- an excellent adapter which lets me remap keys, program macros, and other fun stuff. It's super neat and I hope you enjoy it!
