AT / Large Din Connector
« on: Tue, 29 September 2009, 15:04:25 »
I have a keyboard, a Cherry 3000M (maybe with dual shot keys), coming with an old at or large din connector. How the devil will I connect it to my computer?

There are DIN -> PS/2 converters out there.  Googled: http://www.google.com/products?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=pkO&q=din5%20ps2&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wf

Looks like it'll cost you $1 - $2.

FWIW, AT -> PS2 -> USB works perfectly fine if that is something you might need to do.  AT -> PS2 is the same protocol, so all the adapters do is change the plug size.
