I hope you’re well, and I’m sorry to bother you, but I was wondering how things went with the MJF print?

I won a parts 701c on ebay, after seeing this project. Working on the J̶l̶c̶p̶c̶b̶ ̶o̶r̶d̶e̶r̶.
Parts are on the way, had to get the molex elsewhere so ill be putting those on by hand. The updated motherboard adapter with a usb hub I am making tweaks to, it connects to the usb4 port on a ryzen motherboard and at a minium im going to move the usb down to the slower port. Since I have the project opened up and have to reroute anyways might throw rs232 and dc power in.

I got a JIS format 701 keyboard, I’m not willing to ruin it but If you have most of the model I can’t imagine adding a few extra buttons is a large lift. I would say if the goal is to just get a 701 style split keyboards trying to make membrane switches could be hurtle. low profile mechanical switches wouldn’t look to out of place on such a thick laptop and since its all getting 3d printed the design could be tweaked or moved to membrane OEM style down the road. I’m focused on getting this first one made out of a parts laptop but I’m hoping it can be repaired by a freind of mine. also a 1995 keyboard so wouldn’t wanna type on it all day so a new build keyboard to go with the machine would be nice. The QMK adapter could get a second set of newer connectors for a 2024 made keyboard/trackpoint.
