@babe I remember those keyboards, they were awesome. Does yours have the DIN plug? If so how do you connect it in the world of USB?

@jrsofty PS/2 for this one. You can get converters for them (has to be a converter though, not just an adapter)

@babe I learned computer repair in the late 80's and early 90's and at that time the PS/2 was just starting to become popular. Most of the IBMs we worked on were still using the DIN.

Aw for the days when the computer hanged you could simply kill the power and it would reboot after like nothing happened 🤣

@babe @jrsofty My main keyboard is even a year older (from '92) and I have to use two adapters: One PC-to-PS/2 and one PS/2-to-USB.
