A II actually. I tried both XT and AT but a K-B with a switch. Didn't try
it with one of my other ones since the well is too narrow for most DINs.
I'll open it up and see if I can access the port that way to go thru my range
of KBs. Hate the idea of buying a complete machine just to get a KB. Neat
machine tho. Thanks.
