I had a similar problem (actually my cable was broken) and solved it with a
standard 34-pin floppy cable. You need to do some cutting on either the
connectors on the cable or the motherboard and keyboard to make them fit. Make
sure you use the non-twisted part of the cable or your keyboard will behave
"strangely". You can cut off the twisted remainder.
