Hello *ALL,
I found several model M keyboards F122 at a customer's place.
He gave them to me.
I'd like to clean them up, and convert them for use with a PC.
They are 3196 terminal keyboards.
The board has 4 connectors (clock, data, +5V, and ground) + a PE connector.
Question: I can't just change the DIN cable for a PS/2, I need a soarer adapter, right?
Thanks for your advice.
Some photos of my find:

To my knowledge you have to use a converter. That plug is a 240 degree 5 pin din. Not the easiest adapter to find at the moment.
Nobody has them listed on ebay when I was looking a week or so ago. Most of the adapter you do find that aren't in stock are USB versions. Here is a listing https://www.tinkerboy.xyz/product/tinke ... -firmware/ for an adapter.
Best Regards.
