My friend Bill gave me a bunch of case lock keys! Back in the days of the AT standard for cases, keylocks were pretty common on PC clones, and IBM systems as well. Let's see how many locks we can open today. Time for a silly 🧵
First, the Gateway 2000 you saw in the intro post. First key I tried worked 😂
Next, let's look at the PS/2 Model 30 286. Not today, not happening, this uses a "more regular looking" key.
Earlier today, many of you might have seen the thread on the Kehtron. Notice it had a key in it, this was not by accident 😂😂. So we are all set there.
How about the Gateway 2000 tower upstairs? No luck, strangely enough. I actually wonder if the lock mechanism is shot on this PC.
How about the DX4? First key I tried worked 😂
And how about the PS/2 Model 70 386? Well, I actually had a key that fit, but wouldn't turn, no surprise there.
This little guy here already has keys, I bought this case new old stock, and it had keys!
And finally, how about the Enlight AT case? Yep! It's good to go. Alright, this was silly fun, thanks for indulging me and for following along. Talk soon!
