Title: Hello from Ukraine
Post by: piston on Fri, 12 December 2014, 06:10:09

Hi everyone,

Recently, I realized that I like old mechanical keyboards. :)
Bought an old keyboard from CANON NAVIGATOR but can't get it to work.
Maybe someone can help, welcome to the related topic:

P.S. Sorry for bad English.

Welcome to GH!

I hope you find a bunch of vintage boards in the dumpster or something!

Welcome to Geekhack!

I hope you can get your keyboard to work.  AT to PS/2 should just work - they are the same signals, just a different plug.

Thanks. I hope so too, but it seems like the board has some sort of XT protocol (maybe proprietary?). AT to PS/2 adapter didn't help.

Ah - if it is indeed XT, and not AT, you will need a special adaptor.
