Default Re: 486 PC. Keyboard problem.

I'm surprised at the number of replies to this thread.

All I needed was an adaptor lead and I could have Googled for one. However I thought perhaps one of the experts here might know of a work around.

This PC has no HDD (something I may remedy) and runs the application from an FD. Looking at the files on the FD I can see the familiar AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS. I'm familiar with BIOS and CMOS, but my knowledge may be a bit rusty by now.

The ironic thing is that, as an anti-hoarding measure, I threw away several keyboards with the correct plug several years ago along with some hard drives. I'm sure a lot of us have been there!
