Hi Dallas, Just in from a fun night of frivolity keeping trains running on the Illawarra line... 8-) > I just joined this list. I'm a new owner of some disused sparcstation > 5's, sans DKM so I'm looking for those items, firstly the type 5 > keyboard and mouse to suit this model. any ideas from anybody? Where are you located? I've got a big pile of type-5 (5c's I think) keyboards along with mice and a fair number of pads (optical) which'll be an ideal match with SS5 systems. I'm not looking to sell them for a big price - something like $20 each for a kbd/mouse/pad. Haven't Ebay'd any yet as I don't have any cartons to suit. > http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Sun-Microsystems-Type-6-keyboard-mouse_W0QQitemZ5869850776QQcategoryZ1486QQssPageNameZWD2VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem > > Is this what I am looking for? Confusion sets in. I was under the > impression type 5 boards are mini-din and type 6 are usb. There are USB and mini-DIN versions of the type-6 keyboards. I've got a couple of mini-DIN type 6's that I use as testing keyboards because they're lightweight and easier to shift around. Type 5's and 4's only came in mini-DIN versions but there is a cable that can connect type-4's to older systems like 3/60's which used a DB15 connector for kbd/mouse. Type 3 keyboards were only offered in the DB15 cable version I think - been a long time since I saw one of those.
