Title: Model M with RJ45 cable (non-removable)
Post by: jayfree on Thu, 09 June 2016, 20:33:51

hey all,

saw a thread here from a few years ago that went dead without a resolution. buddy of mine picked up a Model M that has an RJ45 cable, and he was wondering if there was a way to get it to work with a modern computer. He purchased it from eBay and still is able to to return it, but wants to try and see if its a viable option to convert and save the shipping costs. Anyone know if theres a way?
