I purchased a keyboard with the code C2 without a line. I saw someone making an IBM 3178 converter, and an external 12V power supply, perfect use of the solenoid valve switch.......

There are controllers in China that do not need to change xwhatsit. There are two options, one is entry level and one can drive solenoid valves. I want to have a converter without this solution. Both soarer and TMK can be used with model F 5291, which means that there is no support for 3178.

Did you managed to convert your 3178 with this method???
