using my 1200 tower







as you need first to have a 25pin to 9 pin serial adapter in the serial port to connect the 9pin connector

then a 5pin din to 6pin ps/2 adapter used on my a4000 keyboard to power the with the 6pin ps/2 socket

then plug my a2000 keyboard into the 5pin din socket on the tablet

now works brilliantly

now im thinking looking at some sites the keyboard adapter is just for 5v power so all i need to use it on any desktop is use an old ps/2 mouse/keyboard wire and add 5v to the correct wire

Yup, very likely. For that kind of project I like to steal power from the floppy port, because it's right next to the serial port. (And being a female socket, I can just poke in a wire for testing!)

I use one on my A4000D. It's a great tablett an Chris made a fantastic software for it.

I don't need a A2000 Keyboard... i use an USB one plugged on the Deneb.

i used this as it was quicker than using my slow subway or using another adapter for my 4000 keyboard
