I recently acquired a VAXmate with an LK250 keyboard.
The problem is the
keyboard came without the cable. It uses an 8-pin SDL connector and the
usual tiny MMJ-like connector at the keyboard end. I don't know the pinout
and I don't have the necessary crimping tools, is there any source for such
a cable?
Is it actually MMJ, with the offset pin, like a DEC serial cable? Or is it
just an RJ connector like a telephone handset? And is the SDL end the same
type as on an IBM model M keyboard?
I have a VAXmate buried in storage. With enough prodding I could dig it out
and try to determine the pinout of the cable.
