[Milsurplus] CP-1995/U Computer Software

[Mark J. Blair]

Good news, everybody! It appears that the keyboard interface ribbon cable in the CP-1995/U is electrically compatible with the PC-AT interface, with 1:1 pin numbering. I successfully spliced my IBM Model M keyboard to my CP-1995/U, and it works. Pictures:

I spent two weekends designing and machining a stand-in for the $1,500 Picoflex crimper, which worked well enough to make the one crimp that I needed:

Then I made a ribbon cable to female DIN adapter cable, and attached it to my Model M with a PC-AT to PS/2 adapter.
