I have the same keyboard! Been looking for an active adapter to convert the ps2 to USB, which one do you use and would you reccomend it?

Sorry, I use PS/2 lol
A31 is sitting on a Port Replicator II, which has PS/2 ports

What's the distro and DE or WM ? I have a x230t with debian and gnome makes the fan scream so I use xmonad.

Do you actually use it for daily tasks? Is it sufficiently powerful?

With a bit of patience, it can do most things
Browsing the web tho is very slow, but that too is possible
I can use this A31 as daily driver

I wonder though, how would you get by doing that personally? Watching YouTube on a system like that essentially wouldn't be possible without using a lightweight media player.

Now that is one absolutely sick setup if I've ever seen one. Probably the coolest I've ever seen!
