Given
that using Xywrite means that we are all using obsolete and discontinued
software and hardware, I am sure we all emphasize with you. Until you get
more info on saving the leads to your keyboard, I suggest that you get a
keyboard cable extension. That will lessen the stress on the cable of
your keyboard if you should drop it and also lessen the chances of damage where
the keyboard cable would normally interface with the keyboard port on the
pc. It is easier to replace a keyboard extension than to try and repair
the fitting on a keyboard cable itself.

Since
we have been talking keyboards recently, I have a query which somebody on the
list may be
able to answer. I use an old IBM manufactured UK AT keyboard of 1980s
vintage, built like a tank
and still going strong. I have two of these keyboards but only one
keyboard lead and I am
terrified that the lead with fail one day, since this has happened
before. The lead on these
keyboards can be unplugged and replaced but IBM today seems to have no
knowledge of this type of
lead and my enquires about replacements have lead me nowhere. Other
inquiries and searches on the
net have revealed nothing. Does anybody recognise this keyboard and its
lead? If so can they
suggest where I might look for a replacement lead. A technical name for
the lead would also help.
Thanks
