IBM Model F XT Pinout
« on: Wed, 26 June 2013, 02:15:45 »
I have a ibm model f xt keyboard that didnt come with a cable, is there anyone that can tell the pinout on the 14 pin connector on the keyboard controller?

I don't have it on me, but when I get home, I'll open up my XT and check for you if you don't have your answer before then.

IDK either, but
- whatever is connected to the case is ground
- whatever is connected to a capacitor connected on the other side to ground is +5V
- the remaining two can we swapped without damage (i.e. you have to check two combinations)

This should help. All of the connections are on the top row of pins.

Thanks guys for the replys, before i came back on here to check i did what mich said. I knew what the ground and 5v lines were so i picked the other 2 for the data and clock.
