Is there some way of adapating AT/XT/clone keyboards to work with an RT? The plugs are different (round ?6 pin with AT, rectangular 6 pin with our RT's), and there may be no electrical/logical similarity... but it is worth the hope. (I can ``mentally'' remap any keys except Caps-Lock and Control -- and under AIX (2.2.1) (no, i unfortunately can't switch to AOS) there is no way in software to remap these -- not even in X with Xmodmap). If we can switch keyboards, it's time to say goodbye to X and hello to a terminal on the serial port!
