I purchases an MK06 without any research, and after a lot of trial and error it will finally boot. My new problem is that I do not know how to set this thing up or get output from it. I have uploaded dilucides config from github, and played around in the system menu plenty, but still no results.If anybody could point my to some good resources for where to start with one of these beasts and how to start using it as my daily, that would be greatly appreciated. Attached are pics of the deck and the modified connector box that lets me use a more easily obtainable power supply.

Unfortunately it does not, further investigating revealed that the cheap barrel-jack to 3-pin din power adapter had the pins reversed for what the Wey control box requires, meaning the very first time i plugged it into that cheap supply it took in -12vdc and fried. So while the control box will still power the keyboard, the communication side of things are dead.

Since there is a severe lack of available control modules outside of the ones that are mostly ps/2 based, I am currently waiting on some modular 36-pin half pitch centronics connectors so that I can assemble my own bypass cable. If anybody has any insight or has done something similar please feel free to make suggestions. Unless someone has a spare Connector Box Module Va on hand.

I did the basic ps2 + 12v combo and it works fine
