I have a socket to the 500 keyboard connector on the motherboard, and a 5-pin din for the 2000 keyboard to fit into and the wire to run between. Figuring out where chasis ground belongs is simple, but which of the of the 8 lines on the 500 motherboard belong connected to which of the 5 pins in the din is not easy!!! After a couple of failed tries, I gave up before I found the combination to fry my machine. Could someone PLEASE tell me what each pin on the 500 motherboard keyboard connector is? Could someone (possibly the same someone mentioned above) tell me which of these need to be connected to which pins on the female din connector??? I will be eternally greatful to any response, especially any quick and accurate ones!!! I almost sent Dave mail on this one, but figured that such a practice wouldn't be fair. If Dave reads this, he might want to comment on what he would have thought had I mailed this to him. -- dTb dTb I know enough about epistemology to know that I don't know anything about programming OR epistemology!
