WEY Tec Mk06 connector box=>keyboard cable identified
Posted: 05 Jan 2019, 18:12
A month ago, I've purchased a WEY Tec Mk06 keyboard along with its connector box (Model 4) and its power supply. During my purchase, the seller told me that the cable connecting the keyboard to its connector box was proprietary and very rare (he didn't have one). Upon receiving the keyboard a week ago, five minutes of intensively staring at the connector box revealed that it was in fact a Mini Centronics 36 pin female port, accepting of course a Mini Centronics 36 pin male cable... or a IEEE 1284 Type C, if you're a man of standards.
I've ordered a male-to-male IEEE 1284 Type C cable from here:

Upon connecting the keyboard to the connector box, it booted up successfully! I was so happy to know I found the right cable and that the keyboard was functional.
If you were searching for that cable, there you go. I'll post pictures as soon as I have more time.
edit: connector box ports differ greatly from model to model. I'm specifically talking about the Model 4 (IV) connector box, which accepts a male port for keyboard communications.
