My AT to XT keyboard thingy has died.

Has anyone ever come across a switch to share one clicky keyboard with either oftwo 5150s?

 

[Stone]

How about a KVM switch?

 

[fjk61011]

Do they come with the big 5150 sockets?

" Allows you to switch one PC with 4 Monitors/Keyboards or 4 PCs with 1 Monitor and Keyboard"

So what's the problem?

I have a an IBM Model F keyboard in excellent condition if you're looking for one and I will ship it to Ireland.

The DIN-5/VGA switch boxes are also offered in the UK, from what I can tell. They're all an old Taiwanese design.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just repair the keyboard converter? There isn't much that can go wrong with them and the pic is cheap.

Programming the chip would be the problem

While I was doing some mining in my basement I came across a two port AT Keyboard/Video switch.

Lemme know if you're interested.

David_M is sending me a pic. I'll see how that goes. Thanks for the offer, Stone.

PIC arrived. Back in business.

Well PS/2 keyboard didn't work with the new PIC. Tried on the other 5150. It worked. So first keyboard port is probably faulty although the IBM clicky works in that port.
