KBK update for Thursday, 17th September

Stackpole advertised KS-200E and KS-500E keyboards in Computer Design in early 1984. The advertisement, like various others, is confusing as to whether KS-200E and KS-500E are keyboard models (with a pre-defined layout) or simply switch types. KS-200E is the mechanical type, depicted as the “interlocking” or “puzzle piece” discrete PCB-mount switch, but described as being either discrete or an array; it would seem that all the DIN-compliant mechanical switches were classified as KS-200E (possibly with “E” denoting ergonomic). KS-500E is their membrane type. The advertisment is now added to the Stackpole page.
