AT cable replacement
« on: Sun, 15 August 2010, 22:25:44 »
I took apart one of the keyboards I just got and noticed that the AT cable was attached by a 4 pin connector with a ground.

Is there any place to find a ps2 one I can replace it with?

I have  2 extra ps/2 cables sitting here on my desk.  I found them attached to some horribly crappy Logitech membrane keyboards sitting in the dumpster.  Spend any longer than 30 minutes looking in dumpsters and I'm sure you will come across a pile of crappy ps/2 keyboards that nobody cares about.  If your time is more precious to you than that, just swing by your local thrift store and buy a crappy ps/2 keyboard for 50 cents.

black cherry, blue cherry, brown cherry, clear cherry, cherry M84, white alps, black alps, cream alps, Monterey blue alps, Fujitsu Peerless, Gateway2000 rubber dome, Keytronic rubber dome, Model M buckling spring, Model F buckling spring, futaba, black space invader

A sweet mod would be to install an sdl port on a pc at board so you could use any model m cable and be detachable.  But with that much effort you may as well install a USB converter instead.  Any ps2 cable should work, just find the pinouts and you're set
