Apologies if this is not classic enough :-)
Very quick story - I'm a rather eclectic collector and have a range of very
nice early Compaq server gear (couple of servers, a KVM and a hub etc) which
go back a way and thought it would all look good sitting in a rack. Recently
got lucky and picked up a Compaq rack for free. More recently got even
luckier and a friend said her work was throwing out some stuff including a
keyboard in a tray. I said I'd have it (like any collector, without knowing
exactly what it was - better I have it than its find its way into a bin) -
turned out to be a Compaq keyboard (158649-001) in a 1U rack mount keyboard
tray - bonus.
But when they removed it from the rack instead of removing it gracefully
they just cut the cable. Grrrrr - how often does that happen when people are
"removing" stuff! The keyboard has a single cable coming out of it with a Y
piece that's splits into to 2 PS2 plugs. They cut off the Y piece and the
plugs so I'm left with a single cable and no ends.
Have been scouring the net for quite a while looking for any specific info
on this keyboard to see if I can repair it but no joy. Be most grateful if
anyone can point me somewhere I may not have covered.
Thank you!!!
