Key Tronic 5 pin 2001 keyboard on old system

patolocko67 · 2016-02-22 09:18:09

Hi Will any 5 pin mechanical keyboard do as a replacement or will the computer require a driver for the new keyboard. The reason I ask is because the base unit is old 2001 and only has zip slots to the front. The computer is running a small concrete plant and the upgrade is expensive so hoping to get a few more years out…

It's driverless hardware, it just provides interrupts AFAIK.

Seems like thats a PC/XT keyboard so any board for use with PC/XT should be 100% compatible.
