How on earth do I connect a Keyboard to this!?
slapaham:
It was ---smurfy--- custom PC my brother bought. The guy who built it for him obviously used the cheapest and naffest bits! :P However, the PC itself is no older than about 2000-2001 so should be capable of running some sort of MAME but I guess I'll have to wait and see! God knows why it's got such a crappy old case on it though - bloody con artists! :soapbox:
Thanks guys! :)

Just to confirm - this should do the trick, yes? -

If so, I can live with spending 99p to give it a go!
Thanks again!

In PC terms, that's ancient...

Looks right...

The case doesn't dictate the type of keyboard connector. The motherboard does. When you boot it does the BIOS say anything about what it is? Even without keyboard the POST screen may give you some clues.
