regarding: "Trip to Brooklyn to the Gowanus eReycling warehouse + questions" Someone posted that they obtained a Kaypro 2x but not the keyboard cable for it. Jim Hart posted "I believe you can use a regular handset cable from a corded telephone". I suggest caution. Someone with a Kaypro and experience with these telephone cords, that one can do as Jim suggests. Or Jim may wish to confirm the practice he cites, in his post of June 3. A counterexample I know of, is the Apple Mac 128K 512K and Plus. Use of a telephone coiled cord on THOSE systems, will *destroy* either the keyboard, or damage the Mac motherboard. Apple reversed the wiring on their keyboard cables; reversed DC voltage to the Mac keyboard is bad, very bad. Thus my caution. Regards, Herb Johnson -- Herbert R.
