I was going through the attic and I found the Model M keyboard I bought a couple of years ago. The cable, though, has seen better days. Where can I buy a replacement cable?

So unlike apparently everyone else on these threads, I actually have a Model M. Okay, technically I have three Model Ms, but still...

What kind of PS/2 cable is it? permanent or modular?

Is it still working, even if it looks rough?

Are you comfortable soldering?

If not, are you at least comfortable following a simple wiring diagram?
