G'day Tony,

Long time no hear!  :)

XT Keyboard?  I *had* one about 20-25 years back, but not in the last 
couple of decades, sorry...

OK, so how sad is this?  I just checked and found an old keyboard with a 
5-pin DIN connector in my pile of crap I want to get rid of.  So, 
*maybe* it will work - I dunno.  You're welcome to it (and anything else 
in the pile) if you want it.
