Recently I came across a P70 keyboard which I hoped to easily convert to PS/2. However, it turns out to not be as easy as is reported by every single post on here.
I spliced up a Fellowes Keypad, which had wires of orange, red, brown, and black color. My friend tested for continuity, and two led to pins reported as "n/c" or not connected. We assumed that the pins were for split PS/2, and coded the orange as data and the brown as clock.
Orange matched up to pin 2 on the ps/2 pinout. Brown matched up to pin 6.
We used jumpers to match as follows:
Fellowes Keypad - P70
Orange ("Data") - Red
Brown ("Clock") - Green
Red ("VCC") - Yellow
Black *"GND") - Black
However nothing happened when we plugged it in. No light or any response from the keyboard whatsoever.
Any help would be appreciated.
Here is the photo I used to attempt the first wiring:
