PS2 Keyboard / Cable

[Eric Brown]

Here is a blast from the past 

ISO  an old PS2 (6) mini pin din keyboard to salvage the cable for a project.

Anyone still have one in their "maybe I'll need it some day" stash that's willing to part with it?

Ham cheap of course.

Please let me know.

Thank you.

Yea I kept a lot of those from KVM cables that I had, they work good.  If you need to put a 3.5mm plug on the end you can get the ones that you don’t have to solder, you just screw in the wires.  Works well to make sure you have all the pins correct instead of having to desolder etc.

I just bought a cable to salvage the connectors.  $5 at Infinite Cables.  That's pretty close to Ham Cheap :)
