  The one labelled "1A"? Yes. Just attach a terminal with the typical

  SGI proprietary. I *think* there are sites on the web that have the
  pinout for the different SGI keyboards and as far as I remember it's

  keyboards, there is one guy who has a description of how to attach a
  PS/2 keyboard/mouse to an Indigo.
