If your keyboard isn't PS2 or AT/XT, you can still convert it to USB as long as it has a relatively normal PCB.

This one is now completed, cleaned, photographed and ready for its new owner Smile

Found the Reference guide as well, is actually a 3727 from 1983.

Looks good! Is that a custom cable or off the shelf one?

After driving some days in my girlfriend's car, I'm pretty sure, I'm going to wire up some Arduino adapter for the steering wheel controls to the unoriginal stereo .. So not all that unrelated to CPU Laughing

Hm... If we are talking about hobbies, I want to go to not IT project at all.

First of all, I love to travel. I have never spent any single day of my vacation in Moscow. I was in many countries. I travel with my family. This year we (I, my wife and two kids 1 and 3 yo) were in Cyprus, Argentina, Israel and Japan.

Another hobby or my main volunteer project is organizing of Limmud Moscow Conference. This is a big full volunteer based cultural 3,5 days long Jewish conference which we organize for last 12 years in Moscow region. We bring together more than 2100 participants and have more than 200 different events like lectures, performances, theater plays, concerts, film screenings etc.

If I'm not fixing, restoring or building vintage processor systems, I'm restoring/modifying cars and fixing/restoring vintage audio equipment.

"Found the Reference guide as well, is actually a 3727 from 1983".

You may mean a keyboard from an IBM 3277.
That was a coaxial terminal of that era along
with the IBM 3278 that replaced it.

Was there a part number stamped on the bottom
of the metal plate of the keyboard? That would
help define what IBM terminal it came from for sure.

Coming from a 3727 terminal, that's what I meant Smile
