Old keyboard with old connection

Hello

Yes, youngsters, the PC is over 20 years old and there were other connectors for keyboards before PS2

There were DIN connectors (large round plug)

Back then, there were DIN to MiniDIN (PS2) adapters
However, finding that new today is not easy

Do your research on eBay for example

Otherwise, you have the eBay solution once again, but to buy a second-hand keyboard.

I’ve seen a few with DIN connectors.

Hello cruistefeur,
thank you for your reply but I must not have made myself clear, as the PC in question does not have a PS2 port (otherwise I think I would have been able to find a compatible keyboard) but even older connectivity!
I think it must be the keyboards we still see in movies with the big gray keys that stick out! :o)

Ah, my bad ^^ It's true that I'm getting old at 18 haha.

But no, you're not old.

But you'll see in 20 years when you're my age, and people will ask questions about USB 2.0 while the young ones will answer with their USB 8.0 (if USB still exists)

:)

The adapters you provide are for PS2 mice.
If you plug a keyboard into it, it won't work.

For a keyboard, you need a Din/PS2 adapter.

Since you mention Conrad, here is the adapter that will correspond to the keyboard.

Thank you guys for all the responses.

I couldn't follow the discussion live because I've had a lot of work this afternoon, but I'll check out your links tonight and let you know.

I have several old keyboards in good condition as well as adapters. If you're still interested, let me know. Best regards.
