Hello people,
I today came into possession of a Mega STE sans keyboard. Anyone got a Mega ST, Mega STE, or TT keyboard laying about that I could buy off them?
I live in East Anglia.

DO NOT USE MOBILE / CGNAT DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time, it is unfortunately not possible to whitelist users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

The TT/MSTE keyboards are extremely rare.
An Eiffel unit plus PS/2 keyboard may be easier to get hold of.

Intro retro computers since before they were retro...

I have an Eiffel (it came in the bag of tricks with the wires and such) and my parts box has an older mechanical USB keyboard in it. However I don't have a PS/2 to USB adapter.
Does the Eiffel work with a USB keyboard that can also use a "block" type PS/2 adapter?

Yes the Eiffel does work with the PS/2 to usb adaptors. I did do a project a while back where I replaced the PS/2 sockets on the Effiel with USB onesEncolpius wrote: 28 Jun 2019 20:04 I have an Eiffel (it came in the bag of tricks with the wires and such) and my parts box has an older mechanical USB keyboard in it.

Okay, so I got everything set up, only the keyboard and mouse don't work with the Eiffel that came with. The Eiffel doesn't even light up; it just sits there like two penneth o' daft.
Am I being really stupid and forgetting that I need to plug it in with some sort of power cable or what?
If so, what cable do I need because I don't recognise it at all.

Post a pic of what you have as there are a few different varieties of Eiffel.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Okay, I've made it work with this Eiffel but it's the wire that's problematic. One of the connectors on it is badly corroded and sometimes it'll stop working and/or mess up the keyboard map and require me to jiggle it in the slot until it makes proper contact again.

You might be able to remove some of the corrosion with a bit of IPA, although not a long term solution obviously.
