[ukvac] OT: Atari PC3 info/bits WTD
Hiya! I Picked up a late '80's Atari PC3 IBM clone last night which is
sadly minus keyboard and mouse...

I've had a quick nose round the net and found a bit of info about it
(although I'd never seen one before) and I'd like to investigate a bit
further but I'll need the missing parts...anyone know if kbd/mouse are
generic or Atari-specific? Also, in a pinch, can I use ST ones?

Any help/advice appreciated!

Don't the old standard 5-pin DIN keyboards and 9-pin D mice work?

Hi, I just got one of these as well, I can tell you that the mouse is
a standard atari one (as used on sts). The keyboard looks to be a
normal XT one - ive got a german one that I wont be using, do you want
it for the cost of posting it?
