The XT and AT plug

The XT keyboard interface is the computer keyboard interface introduced with the IBM Personal Computer model XT.

The 5-pin XT keyboard connector was reused for the successor interface, the AT keyboard interface, allowing keyboards to be produced that would function as either interface via a switch on the keyboard.
