Replacing a Leading Edge DC-2014 on its original system (DC-2011)

Can anyone tell me a sure-to-work option for replacing the DC-2014 on its original system? Apparently that keyboard's plug has an additional 'reset' pin so I'm assuming I cannot just use any XT keyboard. Will any other board that has that pin do? Or are they likely to have differing protocols? It says here that a Honeywell 84XR should do. Does anyone have one for sale?

I think some (?) Zenith boards have the reset pin also?

I guess there is no such thing as a converter going back the other way from DIN/USB to the reset pin protocol?

Thanks!!

The Zenith Z-150 has a different XT protocol from the IBM XT or the Leading Edge DC-2014.
