Making an IBM compatible keyboard

Dale Parish · 2011-12-28 23:08:18

Hi guys, Just wondering if it's possible to rewire a standard PS/2 keyboard to a RJ14 for an IBM 5155. I understand the scancodes are different, is there any way around that?

The number of pins looks different (though I've seen RJ14 pics with 6 holes, I've never seen them used).

As for the scancodes....can the OS be used to determine what's what?

Mostly I'd say you'd be better off looking on ebay for a converter (or replacement keyboard) or trying to repair the one that you have unless you just fancy the challenge.
