   Just in case anyone out there needs to replace the battery in their RT, they can be Special Ordered through your local Radio Shack. Amazingly, the IBM-RT is actually listed in their battery cross- reference, but in case YOUR Radio Shack is lame, the part no. is:   CLB-5293/W

Keyboard and Mouse Ports
  Pinouts stolen from Mark Whetzel's RT FAQ
"IBM RT PC Hardware Technical Reference" Volume 1 P/N 75X2032,  Chapter 9  pages 9-3 thru 9-23, and from Chapter 5, pages 5-85 thru 5-114.

 Ed. I have a different illustration of the keyboard connector, it seems. What the User Setup Guide and Operations Installation shows is a DIN-like port, while the case illustrations clearly show a rectangular port. YMMV.

Mouse Connector
     (view is looking into the connector (male receptacle) socket on the back of the RT system unit.

+--------------+            1 = ground.
|    1  3  5   |            2 = Transmit to device.
|              |            3 = +12 Volts
 -   2  4  6  -             4 = -12 Volts
  |          |              5 =  +5 Volts
  +----------+              6 = Receive from device.

Keyboard Connector
   (view is looking INTO the female connector socket on the cable attached to the keyboard)

+--------------+       1 = +5 Volts
|    5  3  1   |       2 = Keyboard Data
|              |       3 = Speaker Signal
 -   6  4  2  -        4 = Speaker Return (+5V)
  |          |         5 = Ground
  +----------+         6 = Clock  (diagrams in the book seem to indicate 
                                 that clock is generated BY the keyboard)
