[GreenKeys] Anyone on here know about the AT&T 5310 printer line?

I was just given one, told it was the last printer Teletype made.
There seem to be versions with keyboards, and versions that connect
to PCs as ordinary computer printers.  I was given some AT&T keyboards,
heavy things like the old IBM keyboards.  I was told that the Teletype
5310 uses the same keyboard logic as the PC, so PC keyboards should
work.  However the 5310 has a modular connector for the keyboard.
The keyboards I was given have (1) no cord, (2) a cord with a PS/2
type connector, and (3) a cord with a DB9M type connector.  So if I
knew the pinouts I could probably connect one of those keyboards to
the 5310.

I have an AT&T PC which I thought might have been made by Teletype,
but the man who gave me the printer said that Teletype didn't make any
PCs; that they were made through an arrangement with Olivetti.
