Hello,
I still have an IBM Model M keyboard from 1988 at home.
However I do not know, as the connection type means (see attachment), since I want to look for an adapter to USB, in order to be able to connect the Tastertur to my Win 7 PC.

Many thanks for your help

Sorry for my bad English.
Greetings from Germany-Berlin.

I think that is an RT plug. If you look at the documentation for Soarer's adapter, there is a pinout in the hardware section.

I've never looked, but I don't know if there are ready-made options for converters. You can, however, make your own Soarer adapter without too much difficulty. You may find it easiest to open up the keyboard and install the adapter internally, since you would not need to find the female version of the plug.
