[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] AT&T PC 6300 Keyboard Replacement

lee@chsun1.uchicago.edu (Dwight A Lee) (10/05/90)

A friend of mine has an AT&T PC 6300, which uses a DB9 connector for its
link with the keyboard.  Five connections are used on the connector.

A replacement keyboard is needed, but most XT/AT keyboards use a standard
connector (DIN?) different from that on the 6300.

Is it possible to make an adapter which will allow a "normal" 101 key keyboard
to function on a PC 6300?  Or is the 6300 strange in other ways, too?

Email responses to be summarized if greater than six.  Thanks!
