As has been mentioned here before, the Epson
QX10's keyboard connector
was a DIN-8 but the pins were offset a bit. I thought at first the pins might be
bent since the connector would start to enter the port. Luckily I didn't force
it and spoil the connector, even tho it seemed on inspection to be the same
as other 8-pin DINs.
DigiKey and Mouser both sell this type of connector. They have 2 different
types of 8-pin DIN connectors. I've run into this connector a few times in
custom/specialty equipment. Square DIN connectors are even more fun ;P
