[rescue] long shot -- LK421 keyboard

[John Floren]

The LK201 keyboard that came with my VT220 really isn't very good for
Unix use. If anyone's got a LK421 they'd consider parting with, please
email me off-list. Or, if it's possible to adapt another type of
keyboard for use with the VT-220, let's discuss it on-list! :)

As far as I know the LK201, LK401, etc all use 4800 baud 8N1 at +/-
5V. Standard serial keyboards are 9600 baud, but with a small
microcontroller it shouldn't be too difficult to get working.

Converters for various different key board protocols.
Includes: "PS2 Keyboard ---> DEC VT320"

It also lists "DEC LK201/LK401 ---> PS2" under beta, which sounds more like
what the OP was asking. What's the difference?

That thing goes the other way around.

The former connects a PS/2 keyboard to a VT320 terminal.
The later connects a LK201/LK401 keyboard to a PeeCee.
