The old AT-style connector was a "5-pin DIN"
The newer style is "6-pin Mini-DIN", also called "PS/2"
Replacement cables and adapters are VERY widely available,
from a zillion cable suppliers. Since AT and PS/2 are
completely compatible, you just need a gender changer/replacement
cable. Under £3 for everything.
