Well if i dont sell the 600X i'll be looking for a keyboard to fix the mouse problem.
Just wondering if anyone has a keyboard with a good trackpoint on it?And a price on it?
I may be also looking for a MMC-2 cpu for it too.Some thing bigger than the 450 in it now.

600X keyboard

I say that there today.But the thing that i looked at was in the first line...
LOT OF 6 IBM 600/600E/600X KEYBOARD & PALMREST FOR REPAIR OR PARTS (NON WORKING)

So they seem to be about what i have here now if not worst.
The one on this 600X looks like new just the trackpoint problem.

I suspect they are not necessarily broken -- just untested and as is (no refunds/returns). It would probably be worth an email to the seller to find out ...

I'm waiting to here back from him now on them to see if he knows if the trackpoints are OK.

Well heres the reply i just got back from that e-bay listing......
Yes, that's correct. All 6 keyboards have trackpoint problems. Thanks for asking and good luck.

Wow. Are Trackpoints a common problem area for the 600 series?

Don't know how common it is but I think I've had two 600E/600X keyboards (out of 10) go out/show up with trackpoint issues. I believe both were of the "constantly moving" variety.

When 600 keyboards fail, which is rare, the TrackPoint is the most common failure I've seen, but I've only had five 600-series machines.
