I have an SGI 9500900 "granite" keyboard. The plug looks OK, but I cannot get it to plug in properly without a ton of wriggling and fiddling and a scary amount of force. I've tried plugging it into a couple of different PS/2 ports and adapters, they all are problematic. I can just barely plug it into the SGI Indy that it came with (yes I bought a vintage workstation just to get the bundled keyboard. I need professional help). Most of the other PS/2 ports I've tried to plug it into, I flat out can't make it work, or it plugs in but doesn't feel secure and some keypresses don't register when I type on it.
Again, visual inspection of the plug doesn't show any problems that I can see - obviously it's deformed somehow, but it's subtle enough that I cannot see it.
I don't want to get involved with hand wiring a new plug because a) my skills are weak, b) lack of time.
Does anyone know of a source for compatible replacement cables? Anyone know how tricky it is to replace the cable on these keyboards?
