5 Pin DIN Looking at Plug Pins Function

2 1 2 DATA
3 RESET (not)
^ 4 GND
5 +VE (e.g. 12V feeding keyboard +5V Reg)
NB. AT & XT keyboard use quite different data code sets, so some early
keyboards had a switch to change over between these. The encoding is not only
different per key, but the AT one sends 1 code for key down & another code for
key release, whereas the XT ones just keep repeating the keydown code.

Fitting a normal DIN on a keyboard cable in place of the PS/2-type connection.
Which avoids the expense of an adapter.
