I just picked up a RCA Ascii keyboard. Does anyone have the pinout
for it's connector?
---------------------------------------------
I got this email today ( I think it's classic computer related), but
I can't read Spanish. Can anyone help this person?

Is it one of the little membrane keyboards with a metal enclosure and
a DB-25 connector on the back? I've got a couple of those; I don't
remember if I've got docs or not, but I opened one up and it didn't
look too hard to figure out.

I ran this through Alta-Vista's
online translator (at
http://babelfish.altavista.digital.com/cgi-bin/translate), and this is
what came out. Not sure why it translated "Alto" as "stop" in the
body, but not the subject line. Anyway, it's readable. That
translator has come in handy - it also does web pages.

Fun Fact:
The PMC101 "MicroMate" CP/M 3.0 System disk comes with a
utility called CONVERT which allows the user to configure any
of the floppy drives attached to the system (up to 4) to read and
write disks of a number of different CP/M formats. The disks
must already be formated. This utility makes it easy to transfer
files between these formats: <snipped>
If I remember correctly, Kaypro CP/M 2.2 allows lots of
"foreign" reads/writes/(?)formats(?) but the disks/docs
are harder to get to than the computer...

Since nobody else has translated this yet and posted it for the curious,
this is what it says (give or take; I haven't used Spanish in a while):

terminals. Actually we have a subsidiary in Brazil, but we do not have
information on whether you arrange technical service in Brazil. We ask
that you tell us if you have it, like the technical services in Spanish
America. Thanking you for quick attention, Jose M. Soria V.
