Anyway, I'm not sure what a diode-plug is. Are you referring to the DIN connector? The NABU's keyboard interface is unique to the NABU and not compatible with anything else as far as I know. It is a one-way RS-422/485 signal sending ASCII at a weird baud rate.

The PC AT keyboard interface I think you're talking about also has a serial interface, but it is completely different: it's bidirectional, synchronous, and uses "scan codes" rather than ASCII.

jk lol. i find this impressive. is it default for those keyboard diode-plugs of that era to use just two pins? would this computer be compatible with typical diode-plug keyboards from the early 90s? like what i plugged into my highscreen 486 before the advent of ps/2
