There are a couple of 56K-xxx AT&T keyboards there, but I counted, and there are only 6 wires in the female connector. There is not a fixed cable.

They do _not_ have a round DIN plug, which distinguishes them from 98% of what's out there. They have an 8p8c connector ("RJ-45"). There are several matching keyboards with different numbers of keys (~98-103). 56K-341-AAN is one part number. Keyboards that will work are the same ones used on the AT&T 4410 and Teletype 5410 terminal. I'm also seeing part numbers in the technical drawings (http://www.brouhaha.com/~eric/retrocomputing/att/5620/att5620_eng.pdf pp 87-95) like: 56K224 56K229 56K230 410896 410967 It appears to have 6 of the 8 pins in use - serial in, serial out, +5V, -12V, signal GND, and frame GND (it makes its own -5V for the MCU from a zener diode on the -12V line). All of this plus the 1.8432MHz crystal, suggest to me a simple async protocol. This would make a keyboard emulator simple to construct once someone has sniffed the protocol. One is good. Two is better. Thanks, -ethan
