A II actually. I tried both XT and AT but a K-B with a switch. Didn't try
it with one of my other ones since the well is too narrow for most DINs.
I'll open it up and see if I can access the port that way to go thru my range
of KBs. Hate the idea of buying a complete machine just to get a KB. Neat
machine tho. Thanks.

look-alikes, that I've been unable to explore
because it is missing the
cover/keyboard. It has a deep well socket that takes a standard 5-pin din
but won't work with any of the K-Bs I've tried with it. Like the Plus it
seems to be a proprietary interface. Anyone know of a k-b that will work
besides the original ?
Sounds like a Compaq Portable III. Did you try both an XT and an AT
style keyboard? I think I used a non-Compaq keyboard on one in the past.
There's a P III for sale on E-bay right now and I think the price was
pretty cheap.
