Title: What is the name of the connector?
Post by: Willa Nilla on Fri, 26 November 2010, 15:05:02

I have this keyboard but I dont know how to connect it to my pc because the connector predates the modern USB and PS/2 connectors.

I know this may seem like a stupid question, but could someone please tell me what the name of this type of connection is called?  I'm assuming that I'll be able to buy an adapter for it.

(It's a Chicony KB-7061)

Picture please?

Probably an AT connector though, just look for an AT to PS/2 adapter.

5-pin DIN is also used, and likely the "official" name...
