The model M keyboard was used on some terminal products as well on that
comes to mind is the 3151 ASCII terminal
and the keyboard connector on it was either RJ11 or RJ45.
You will find that later model M keyboards where made by Lexmark which
was the spin off from IBM of the Lexington Ky plant. It is perhaps
fitting they made keyboards, when IBM was in the electric typewriter
business the Lexington plant built all the typewriters for the US
market, and the well loved IBM selectric keyboard became the model for
IBM keyboards including the keyboards used on PC up until the model M.
