Hi all --
Got me an early MIPS workstation, an RC2030. I'm trying to track down a
keyboard and mouse for it. The keyboard
connector uses an 8-pin DIN connector. Anyone have any leads? (Or know what
the pinouts and protocol might be?)
Thanks,
Josh
there is a picture of it here

looks like an AT keyboard and Logitech (serial?) mouse
You're right, that does look like your standard AT keyboard and Logitech
mouse. I tried an AT keyboard just a couple of minutes back and it's
close, but it doesn't work properly. The keyboard LEDs cycle while the
2030's running its (very lengthy) diagnostics but once I get to a
prompt, I get gibberish from it -- looks like the keyboard scancodes are
completely different. (Just for fun I tried an XT keyboard and that
doesn't work at all...)
It does give me a place to start hacking, though...
Thanks!
