i do know the model m also had a phone cable type
connector. i happen to
like anything made exclusively by ibm and not by any other company.
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.
