Just got one of these from my local recycle shop, but the numbskull dumped the keyboard, anyone have one for a tandy 1000/tl, or can i use an xt-class keyboard in it, it's got a funky 7-pin DIN plug BUT the 5-pin keyboards fit aswell, if i do that am i gonna burn something out if i do that?? |

I am pretty sure you need a Tandy keyboard. I know on my programable Northgate keyboards they have seperate jumper settings for Tandy, AT, XT. Tandy computers were known for swapping wires or connectors on standard ports to make sure you purchased their stuff instead of clones (serial, printer, floppy drives, keyboards, etc). |

The adapter should be ok, but I would double check before you try it. |
