They weren't the only manufacturer to use that
type of connector for the
keyboard though. I'm not saying it was a good design, but it was a
connector that was small and readily available. The Atari ST, Amiga 1000,
Coleco Adam, and I believe the IBM 5155, as well as plenty of serial
terminals, used the same type of connector for the keyboard.
Old Sun mice use it too.
