OSI 600D replica keycaps
I can see several threads relating to sets of keycaps for the 600D replica. Does anyone have a set to sell? Bonus points if you've got a Cherry locking keyswitch!

Re: OSI 600D replica keycaps
Cherry hasn't made the locking key as a production item in some time. There are many other retro-computer groups that would like them too, but ..
i read a few years back that one group had contacted them and asked if it was possible to buy a bunch of them and Cherry said "Sure, as long as by 'bunch' you means 500,000 or more." I think that ended the conversation.

Yes, I saw that. I'm much more interested in the keycap set. The locking key is a nice-to-have.

Re: OSI 600D replica keycaps
The latchingd keys, futaba and Cherry MX, are very hard to come by. But it's not hard to whip up a "soft shiftlock" functionality. I have a circuit that adds this, if you are interested, along with a 3-second delay for RESET, and power-on RESET, intended for the 542 keyboard or early 600 boards, that don't have either capability, but you could also add it to a later 600D or 542C machine.

Thanks.
I've mainly given up trying to find keycaps, so I'll buy a standard set and mod the rest. But where do I find an 8u spacebar?
