-->I have a real IBM PC XT keyboard which needs a new connector cable (from
   the keyboard to the computer). I have the cable, however I don't have the
   connecter which connects the wire to the printed circuit board in the 
   keyboard. I find that there are several kinds of these connectors depending
   on the flavor & model year of the IBM PC in question. Mine is a 10 pin
   connector (2 rows of 5 pins). If someone knows the wire colors which should
   go to which pin on a standard IBM PC XT keyboard , could they email this
   information to me. (louis@quiche.cs.mcgill.ca)

-->I cannot buy the connector (or a connector with cable), as IBM does not 
   consider the cable a user servicable part, they want me to buy a whole 
   keyboard!
