Got a IBM M F1 that stopped working all of sudden. Uses an external Soarers converter.
HIDlisten is outputting this when I plug it in, nothing happens when I press a key on the keyboard.

Hello, as far as I'm aware when the soarers converter doesn't detect a keyboard it default reads as PC/XT. I'm assuming there is a break in the wire between your board and the converter. have you made any progress since posting?
