Recently we had one of the modular (similar to the RJ11 type connectors) keyboa
rd connectors break on one of our old IBM Transportable PC's. I had a six wire
modular connector and figured I could just use it to replace the bad one. I c
ut off the old one and replaced it with the new one--making sure to line up the
wire colors to match the old one. I pluged it in and it seemed to snap into p
lace. However, I still get a 301 keyboard error. I tried another keyboard and
it works fine. Therefore, I know it is not a problem with the PC end of the co
nnector. I did notice that the connectors were a little bit different. Does t
he IBM Transportable require special connectors? Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks in advance.
