Watch out -- I think they are not voltage compatible -- the AT&T uses 12 volts
intead of 5 (or the other way around).  You could smoke the motherboard.


There are AT&T replacement keyboards available from a few places.  They even
have the right plug.  I picked up two surplus 6300 keyboards (301 and 302)
on the surplus market though.
