It was thus said that the Great Tony Duell once stated:
What? And risk one of my precious IBM keyboards?! They're getting harder
and harder to find nowadays (didn't find *any* at the last Ham fest [1]) and
what ones I have left I'm not willing to experiment on.
But I've gotten a few solid leads on some adaptors (and yes, it's worth it
to me to buy the adaptors---nothing more dangerous than a software guy with
a soldering iron and all that.
Also, I've found a source for the IBM keyboards (AT or PS/2 style) still
being made (although without the IBM logo)
http://www.pckeyboard.com/
but they're *expensive* (although well worth it).
-spc (The most I've ever paid for an IBM keyboard was $10)
I'm having difficulty finding a PS/2 to AT
keyboard adapter [1].
But that's just a connector change. Cut off the PS/2 mini-DIN plug and
solder on a normal DIN plug, or vice versa.
