have a Laser Compact XT at home and I need a new keyboard. I have it taken apart and in pieces, and would like to also PUT IT IN A STANDARD -----XT CASE. Has anyone ever taken a portable and put it in a standard case? This is kinda different because the PC is in layers; what I mean is it is somewhat like a Apple, having the keyboard over the motherboard, and the disk drive on the side. I really need a keyboard (standard type), but there is no standard Jack to put it into. The keyboard module inside attaches to an cable that accepts sic (6) pins like this: The cable attaches here ------ -| |||||| ----------------------------------------- | The attached circuit board | | | | | | | _________________---------------------------------------| | | | | | The Keyboard keys | | | |________________________________________________________ Are these a standard I/O on the internal organs of the Ibm PC clones? Could I solder the leads from a standard keyboard to these? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
