It's time to ask again.

My wonderful old IBM clickclack will not work on my HP 505n Pavilion.
I tried three keyboards, none worked. They were a blue-label by
Lexmark, the old IBM-M, and old Keytronics. All worked on
my friend's HP Pavilion 764n. None work on my 505n.

My motherboard failed recently (in warranty) and HP replaced it.
They took 8 weeks but the good keyboards still don't work.

I've tried "everything" including adding recommended two
pull-up resistors.

Anyone have any idea? My wrists can't stand modern keyboards.

Can I turn the IBM keyboard into a wireless USB connection?
Can I rewire it?
Is there a "modern" good keyboard?

Mason C

Would this work?

<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.pacificcable.com/Picture_Page.asp?DataNAme=USBPS2" target="_blank">http://www.pacificcable.com/Picture_Page.asp?DataNAme=USBPS2</a>

They have many more convertors like this, but I have never needed one.

Search google with "usb keyboard convertor" remove quotes.

Let us know what works or does not work.

Later
