I always wondered about this because I could swear that I saw at least one
XT Model M in the day...
Does anyone know if you can identify a switchable Model M from the keyboard
cable being terminated into a modular type jack on the keyboard side? Or
was going from the modular jack to a hard-wired PS/2 cord just a cost
reduction at some point in time after the keyboard was introduced?
Best,

Really? That's the first I've heard of
that. Did they auto-detect, or
was
there a switch/jumper (inside?) to change them over?
I remember switchable keyboards from the 1980s. Usually there was a
little slide-switch underneath, labelled "PC" or more commonly "XT"
and "AT".
