Need serious info on AT&T 6300 and some other stuff...

Due to a minor mishap while doing a little creative rewiring I
have done a number on my 6300. As a result I would like to get as much
technical info on the machine as possible. If someone out there has
schematics and other such detailed info that they could duplicate and
send I would happily pay whatever postage is incurred.
Here's what I did: I got hold of an AT&T 101 key keyboard that
I really liked. Ot didn't work on the 6300, of course, but I bulled on
ahead without stopping to find anything smart like the pinouts and
modified it. Now the poor machine doesn't recognize any keyboard at
all, including the original (which shoudl be fine, as I didn't mess with
it). It boots up just fine but I get no keyboard lights or response.
My guess is that I shorted and blew the keyboard controller chip.
Unfortunately I need more info before I can work on it -- I won't make
the same mistake twice.
It would cost me an arm and a leg and probably the other arm for
good measure to have a dealer to even give it a casual glance, and
dealers are usually unwilling or unable to give me the info I need to
do it msyelf.
I kind of liked the old monster, so I'd like to make it fly
again. As I say, I will be happy to pay postage for any useful info I
can get. Thanks...
Chris
Oh, and the pinouts to that stupid keyboard would be appreciated. :-) I
still like it better than the one I have.
