Title: IBM AT 84 keyst -to-IBM XT 5160 converter
Post by: DaCiRo on Wed, 08 October 2014, 07:14:04

Hi
I am trying to connect an IBM AT keyboard (84 keys) to an IBM 6\5160 XT machine, but I keep on getting the famous '301' error that confirms that there is no keyboard detected.
I am aware that the IBM keyboard versions AT and XT use different scan codes however there must be a way to make the IBM AT keyboard to simulate the XT scan codes.
Does anyone know if this can be done directly into the keyboard controller through software or is the only one to do it through some type of physical converter (and...where can I get one?)
