Your comments prompted me to look at the bottom of the LK-201 keyboard
I'm typing on right now.  Indeed, it does have a warning about using only
"approved" cables for keyboard attachment, otherwise, "excessive overheating
may result in abnormal conditions.".  Thanks for pointing that out.
I can picture a really cheap cable catching fire if the +5 to the keybaord
gets shorted for some weird reason.

As for number of wires, I'm glad I said _maybe_, since I don't have a 520
to take apart, old or new. ;-)
