Come on, we did put this infomation in the A500 user's manual just so I
wouldn't have to be looking it up.  It goes clock/data/reset/+5/key/ground/
power/floppy...  Pin numbering in the DIN connecter is questionable, but
that goes spare/data/clock/power/ground.

If you get data and clock wrong, you'll get a stream of quote characters.
If you get power and ground wrong, you'll get a stream of acrid smoke.

Note that the 3-finger reset won't work between the A2000 keyboard and
the A500, since the A500 assumes a direct reset signal from the keyboard,
while the A2000 does some clever manipulation of the clock/data lines...
