This 122-key keyboard provides a seamless transition from Twinax and Coax "dumb terminal" green screen terminals such as the IBM InfoWindow 3476, 3477, 3481, 3482, 3486, 3487, 3488 and compatibles from CLI, Decision Data, I-O Corporation, Idea, Memorex and Praim.

When moving from the 122-key layout to a standard PC keyboard, there are up to 36 new key combinations to be learned to perform the same tasks performed with a single keystroke on the Twinax or Coax terminal. This lack of familiarity can produce a big loss in production and excess errors that would not be occurring if the user had their old, familiar keyboard. Click here or on the image at the top of the page for a larger image of the keyboard.

With the Affirmative 1225U and 1229U 122-key keyboards, there is virtually no retraining when moving users from the old Twinax or Coax terminals to the new Ethernet connected device, whether it be a PC or Thin Client Terminal. The user will have the same layout and heavy duty "clicky" keystroke feel as on the terminals being replaced. No need to learn the new key combinations a standard PC keyboard would require.

NOTE: Affirmative 122xP and 122xU 122-key keyboards (unless described as driverless) require device driver software to run with all emulation products except BOSaNOVA (Plus, Desktop, Client, TCP/IP). These drivers need to be installed in your Windows operating system to intercept the custom keyboard scan codes to correctly pass them to your IBM host computer (AS/400 or Mainframe) or to automatically modify the keyboard profile to conform to the 5250/3270 standard. Affirmative 1225T and 1229T PS/2 Keyboards work without drivers on Affirmative Thin Client Terminals with PowerTerm Terminal Emulation and Computer Lab International (CLI) Thin Client Terminals with PS/2 keyboard connections with TermPro Terminal Emulation.
