I had, but hearing this information, my SS20 suddenly lacks his, and my SS5
suddenly gained one ;-D

Bummer. I'll try to find the partnumber just for info.

Uh, for type-4 keyboards this is true, but the type-5 has an internal connector,
much like the 3.5" diskdrive power connector but 6 (7?) pins. I've tried
connecting a type-4 cable to the mouse port on the type-5 keyboard, but
the SS20 says 'no keyboard found'.
I do have a type-4 with mouse which works, but obviously I would like the extra's
on the type-5 kb.
