At least that pisser was not detachable from the keyboard. One: it didn't get lost as easily as the SX one and two: you would probably need to add SID to the equation to get those funky plugs manufactured at comparable price. With SX I always wondered WTF.. non ergonomic, susceptible to fall off, probably over-expensive to manufacture and damned short.. what somebody was thinking back there.. ? The 128 did at least 50% better ;-) and the first Amiga was already done right. There you couldn't possibly go cheaper with KBD cable.
