Looking for a proper HP keyboard

I suspect you mean an HP-HIL interfaced keyobard, this does have a flat 6 pin connector with latches on the sides. This keyboard was used on some HP9000 machines, the HP150-II, etc. Some older HP machines (HP150m, HP120, HP9816, etc) had their own custom-interfaced keyboards (all were different, although the first 2 I mentioned are closely related) using an RJ12 type plug. If it is HP-HIL (HP Human Interface Link, not to be confused with HPIL -- HP Interface Loop [1]) then it shouldn't be too hard to find a keyboard. The older one is an HP46020, the later one is an HP46021 (I believe they're compatible), Rik told me there as also an HP46030 (?) which sends different keycoeds and was used on the Vectra. I've never sene that one. [1] HP never made an HPIL keyboard, but there's a design for one (using the HP82166 converter) in 'Control the World with HPIL'. Where are you? I assume you're not in the UK, if you are I might be able to dig one out. -tony
