well other than providing a converter, how an IBM model m terminal keyboard 1392595 can be used today on a normal computer?
i know there are no LEDs, but generally what do i have to do in order to make it usable ??
can i use immediately on a modern PC (after providing a converter) ??

My experience using Soarer's method has been immediate plug-and-play with no additional drama.
Re-mapping keys is also relatively easy if you want or need that.

Your absolute plug-and-play simple method would be to reach out to Orihalcon and buy one of his Soarers converter cables. He has versions to fit any of the IBM terminal cable connectors. Just connect it between the end of your keyboard's existing cable and your computer.
