    'Do not know anything about your Peanut computer; however, if the KB
socket on the main board is an IC socket, then, so far, it is similar to
our II+.

     The II+ KB connects to the main board using a standard 16-pin -to-
16-pin IC ribbon cable. Check the bottom of your keyboard for an empty
16-pin socket. If you find one, then all you may need is the ribbon
cable with 16-pin plugs on each end. Just make sure the #1 pins on each
cable plug go to the #1 pins of each 16-pin socket.
