I have one of these Plastic cased Apples. One question I
do have is what sort of keyboard they use. The keyboard conector
on the mother board is wited directly to a nine pin serial socket
on the back of the machine. Does it use the standard Apple II
keyboard in a special case?? I seem to remember seeing info on
how to wire an IBM keyboard to an apple some where. Can this be
done for this machine?? Or am I mistaken. In spite of my small
collection of Apple II parts I have never really taken much
notice of these machines until recently when I have decided to do
a "clean out" so advice on how to get this Apple in a more
useable state would be apreciated......
I have a MicroSCI Havoc that uses a Cherry brand keyboard, and Multitech
also made a generic external Apple II keyboard that would work on both the
MPF II/III. I also have an Orange 2 that I believe also uses a Cherry
keyboard. I also have a couple of plain external Apple II keyboards but I'm
not sure who made them. I would assume that an Apple II/II+ keyboard would
also work if you could add one of the 9-pin adapters in place of the socket
plug that the standard Apple II uses but I haven't tested that.
