LK501 Question (Was Re: Vaxstation video) - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

11 Sep 1999

The LK501 will not work.  It has a different connector - I checked some I
have last night just to make sure my memory served correctly.  It has a
modular plug with the locking tabs on both sides.  Totally different from
the RJ11 style on the LK201 and LK401.  It also has a plug on the keyboard
for a hockey puck mouse that has the same king of plug.  Not the normal PS2
style VSxxx-AA connector again.  The plugs remind me of the HP keyboard
connectors from the Apollo days.

Yep, LK501 too, same connector same hole. DEC was very big on having one
keyboard deign that any group could use in the company.  The only oddball
in the post LS200 era is the LK250 (for PC use) which has a different
connector(s).
