Oh, I've got a bunch of them. I don't think I
have any PCs left with
AT keyboard ports, though - but I do have an elderly AT-port K/V
switch for which I have been trying for /years/ to assemble enough
AT-to-PS/2 and PS/2-to-AT connectors and extension cables to connect a
PS/2 keyboard to two PS/2 computers via an AT-format switch. I daresay
I will never do it now. :=AC(
Such adapters were available from Maplin not that long ago, and may still
be. If not, it's pretty easy to make some up (OK, it involves soldering...).
I find the mini-DIN connectors to be painful things to sodler though.
When I needed to make up some cables from my Epson PX4 and PX8 machines,
I found it easier to buy thse RS cables with the plugs already fitted nad
to cut them in half and wire the cut ends to whatever other conenctors I
needed.
