Subject: Need pinout for HP keyboard

I wonder if anybody can supply me with any pinout info for this
Hewlett-Packard keyboard.

Its product number is C1405A #ABA, and it seems to be made for
a PC rather than for a terminal, since it doesn't have the
user/system/menu keys that HP terminals have.

Why?  Well, I want to replace the keyboard on my Amstrad PCW,
and somebody gave me this one.

I realise this might turn out to involve so much work as to
make it not worth bothering, but I can't see any harm in
plugging it in to see what happens. The keyboard I am replacing
operates on 5v dc, as does the HP keyboard, so I don't think I
am going to damage anything, provided I get the pinout right.

Any other technical info that might help in this situation
would also be welcome.

Replies by email please, to the addresses below. I can post a
summary, if anybody else is interested.
