Keyboard FRU number: a question...

#1 Post by Cecilia76 » Mon Jan 31, 2005 4:59 am

Hallo,

I would like to buy a new ITA key for my T42p (2373HTG)
I've checked the FRU numbers but I found 3 different keyb:

NMB 93P4790
ALPS 93P4850
CHICONY 13N9903


Which is the thai-made one? Maybe NMB? Which is the best keyb?
Thanks a lot.

I believe NMB is the Thai keyboard, which is widely regarded as the "best".

Has anybody, out of curiosity, *tried* the Chicony and compared it to the NMB and/or the Alps? There's a lot of discussion on this board about NMB and Alps, but next-to-none on Chicony and how it stacks up to the other two.

My local IBM reseller told me that he can order ONLY the NMB keyb, the other two FRU number are no accesible to him :?:
Anyway, thanks a lot to everybody.
