At the moment it's a bit busy; but I'll definitely experiment!

That soldering, OK. But buy another cable... I bought an IBM floppy adapter in the UK a few months ago. The price was 31.54 GBP. Eventually the cost went up to 66.37 GBP before I got it in the mail. So, an SDL cable would easily cost a little over 100€; for that price I buy another keyboard here...

Update: Yesterday received the info from Clickykeyboards: Yes, your plan should work with the exception that you need to account for the 4 wire cable that goes from the LEDs to the controller. Has anyone ever looked into this? Thanks!

Probably wrong word usage... I mean: the keyboard controller...

Maybe a silly question, but are all IBM keyboard circuits interchangeable? I have a keyboard M (1391414) with SDL connection. I do not have the SDL cable. An SDL cable is almost impossible to find here and almost unaffordable to buy in the US (cable, shipping, import taxes and customs fees)...

Thanks. At the moment this is the only result (will have to look for the right cable first)...

Hello, I just got this very heavy 20 inch monitor in my hands. Is this a CRT monitor? Does anyone have more info about this? Thanks in advance! Guy

This is (much) more info than what I hoped for when I wrote: for keyboard specialists... The suggestion 'Unicomp': shipping costs are quite affordable, but customs duties double (at least!) the price... But I 'll keep it in mind! Thanks again!

that is very clear. Thanks!

A question for keyboard specialists.. Do all IBM M keyboards use the same type of membrane? The membrane on my keyboard (IBM 1390120) is broken. Can I replace it with a membrane from a keyboard IBM 1394417? Thanks!

Ok! Thanks!🙏

Found that directory! No readme.txt, so what do I use? PS1SETUP.EXE? Or PS1TOOLS.EXE? I'm a little afraid of losing what I have...

And something else: I want to restore the computer to the original version. On the HDD there is a Dir "Recovery". But how do I start? I don't have any diskette or manual.

that seems quite possible to me. the man who gave me this ps1 was a user of it but certainly not a specialist who could handle it technically.

I love old computers but don't know enough about them, so here it is... I just got my hands on a PS1 type 2133 model 174 with IBM DOS 5.0 (French). Win 3.1 (French), Works (French) etc. This one boots up, with working FDD and HDD. I thought this machine started with the 4 quadrant screen, but it...
