Focus FK-9000 converter
« on: Sat, 07 December 2019, 16:11:28 »
What plug does the FK-9000 have? Would a simple, cheap converter like this work, or does the board just have PS/2? Thanks!

The FK-9000 is AT/XT; you'll need an active converter.

As for the physical connector, is it PS/2? The ebay seller said it was in the messages I exchanged with him.

No, AT/XT keyboards use the old 5-pin DIN connector.

What's the cheapest decent converter I can buy? One available in Canada
