[comp.sys.laptops] Connecting external keyboard to a Notebook

Lal <lal@sun.soe.clarkson.edu> (05/07/91)

     I want to connect my Everex Tempo LX (386) to an exter-
     nal  keyboard.   It does not have a port for a external
     keyboard; it has a parallel port and a serial  port.  I
     do not like the 82 key keyboard although it can emulate
     IBM standard. Has anyone got an idea how I can  connect
     a IBM keyboard using a port. I appreciate any advice.

                                       Thanks

                                          Lal

I've seen an ad for a coupler that'll allow you to plug in a standard IBM 
keyboard through a parallel port but I don't know where they can be found 
off hand.
