Old Style Keyboard
Hey All
I have recently aquired an old fujitsu mainframe terminal keyboard circa 1990. its awesome- 3+ kilos, 128 keys, 48 of which are programmable..... problem is, i have no idea what kind of port it uses. apparently the keyboard plugged into a cable which was hardwired into the mainframe so i have no chance of getting that back. it looks vaguely like a female ps2/din8 hybrid. pin wise (well,whatever the female pin equivalent is...socket?) going from the top, it has: 2,3,2,1 im not sure what kind of mainframe it was used with, but i asked one guy who *should* know but is a bit clueless and he said it was a Fujitsu. Details are as follows: Manufacturer: Fujitsu Model name:F6684KC5 S/N:505698 assuming i ever find out what kind of port it is, do you think it would be possible to build an adapter? ps/2 and serial mice for example - cant build an adaptor because they send different signals (or so i understand). would this be a similar situation? i know its chances are slim as its probably mapped soley for the old terminals, but i would really like to get this old beast back up and running. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance. |
