Dear Paul
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.

Subject: Keyboard lead
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
