Hi everyone. Any boys here that converted their XT keyboard to USB and no longer needs the original cable please do make a offer. I need a new cable for my keyboard to work on my 5150.
Thanks

Thanks for the link. Strange thing is that I actually searched this before and nothing showed up.
Anyway thanks for the help, I'll buy that

I had a couple but tossed them out because they had turned to sticky black goo.
As a tangential question, does anybody know how to restore old black plastic that has become sticky and nasty?
I am thinking of some handles in particular, such as tools and umbrellas.

Actually I just made that up so don’t do it please. But it sounds like it could be true, right?
In conclusion, I am sorry.

Yeah that's no good. Maybe you can dip them in that flex glue liquid rubber thingy.fohat wrote: 21 May 2019, 23:23 I had a couple but tossed them out because they had turned to sticky black goo.
