What Type of Port is this?
I am trying to fix up an old machine for a friend of mine and there is only one PS/2 connection for the mouse and nothing for the keyboard. There is however the port pictured below but I am not sure what type it is. Would an older keyboard fit in it?
Here is the port:  Thanks for any help! |

Correct, an old keyboard will fit into it. It looks like the new keyboard connector only bigger. Good luck finding the keyboard. Maybe you can try ebay. I thew away 1, and donated 1 even though the person could not use it.

do they make an adaptor for this so I can use a PS/2 keyboard? What is the name of this type of port? Like you said its larger than a normal PS/2 port.

They probably do make adapters. That, or they are people like me that have many of these old keyboards sitting in closets. Might look on NewEgg for the adapters.

If you dont find one in a store try a local flea market or a computer show when it comers around. The flea markets and the shows sometimes have tables of old stuff like that.

If you want an AT keyboard for it, send me a PM. I've got a bunch lying around and I'd be glad to send one for the cost of shipping.
