I have a keyboard like this (Wyse iirc - it's in another room) which I
love, but it is old (I think it came with my 486SX box from Morgans in
1993) and only has a DIN type connector. I have it plugged into a server
that rarely needs attending to. Someone tell me there is a way of
plugging these into USB sockets and I'll think about it (the DIN to PS/2
converter I have has a tendency to fall out of the socket when even in
moderate use.)
