Thus, you don't need a cable adapter. (The keyboards and cables store

I have a few IBM 101-key keyboards that have detachable cords, and
the DIN-5 connector, but they're not Model Ms.
They have completely different part numbers and stiffer key feel.
They also have older square IBM logos.

Maybe.
I have one or two detachable Model-M cables that have a DIN-5
connector instead of a MiniDIN-6. Just don't ask me to try and

PC AT 5170, yes--PC 5150, no--I tried it. Different protocol.
Even on the AT, the protocol works, but you need a cable adapter.
