For anyone following this discussion. Below is the wiring information for connecting two keyboards to 1 PC - be aware that output will be "shared":

Keyboard (F) Computer (M) Keyboard #2 (F) ------------ ------------ --------------- pin function pin function pin function 1=data ---------- 1=data ---------- 1=data 2 n.c. ---------- 2 --------------- 2 n.c. 3=gnd ----------- 3=gnd ----------- 3=gnd 4=+5v ----------- 4=+5v ----------- 4=+5v 5=clock --------- 5=clock --------- 5=clock 6 n.c. ---------- 6 --------------- 6 n.c.

Please see Dave Burton's page which is the source of the above for more information.
