i've not checked inside my 128D  however ,
i had an 8096-sk without a keyboard for a while ~ i found that commodore
had just used a jumper cable to get from the keyboard connector on
motherboard to the DB25 socket on the front case ,
so i just plugged in a keyboard from an ordinary 8032 onto the mother board
~ with a bit of protection for the naked  keyboard sitting on desktop.
