For reasons to numerous to numerate, I am putting junk into a 500 that 
necessitates removal of the keyboard, but have a 2000 keyboard that I
want to connect.  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.
