Thanks to all those who helped me out with AES/VDI.

Next question: I've seen inside my 520 ST, and I've seen the 17 wire
connection from the keyboard to the rest of the computer.  Now I would
like to make the keyboard separate, but I don't know if adding a whole
length of cable (say two metres) will affect the operation.  Has
anyone else tried this, or can anyone say if the connection needs to be
as short as it already is?

Thanks if anyone can help.
