Looking for a keyboard for the Leicester Retro Computer museum for the Sony HB900. yes I know there is one at the bottom of the ocean, but looking for one for a small cost.

It's been very difficult to find a keyboard nowadays. Do you know this adapter?

Thank you for the link, it is for the museum, not me. I will pass the information on though.

I will have a HB-F700P with German keyboard on sale soon (the BIOS was modified to match the keyboard). Not sure if that would be an option…

I will speak to Andy and find out the model of the HBF900, and see which keyboard BIOS is needed.

The F900 was only released in Japan. Any keyboard will work but the characters printed on the keycaps won’t correspond to the character displayed by the machine unless you find a Japanese keyboard for an F500 or F900. It is possible to replace the BASIC/BIOS in a machine to match the keyboard (it does require desoldering the original ROMs).
