Hey to all of you keyboard maniacs,can you tell me more about this board. It says it uses 4pin mini din.... do they  make an adapter for that one to PS/2 or USB? if only to PS/2 I would guess I can use the PS/2 to USB blue cube on it, it will be an adapter to an adapter but.... how does this keyboard fairs in new PC's with adapters attached to it etc etc etc,anyone can share more info who has this type of board,thanks.

Here is the link of the board http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lexmark-NEW-Computer-Keyboard-Model-M-C3229A-PN1428260-/260718881126?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item3cb40e6966

mini-DIN is another name for PS2. Even if it's a terminal 'board, you can probably use Soarer's Teensy Terminal (and PS2) to USB with NKRO adapter.

As far as I know, not all the keys will work in a modern OS, but most will. It really depends on the terminal emulation software the keyboard was designed for (for which it was designed).

I would also like to note that this appears to be an ISO layout, judging by the vertical enter and how the angle brackets are on the same key.

Also, mightn't it be an RD?
