Hello ..
  I purchased a used ADDS viewpoint 122 terminal about a year ago, and sadly,
when I brought it home, I fired it up only to find it beeping continuously, and
the message    KYBD ERROR   appearing on the screen.  Last week I finally dug
the thing out again and ripped apart the keyboard, to find that the large
(48 pin DIP) keyboard controller IC had a _crack_ in the top of it,
unfortunately obscuring the part number. It is an Intel part, but without
the full part number I can't exactly replace it. Does anybody know what the
actual part number is, and where I can get a replacement part? The keyboard
is a VT-220 style keytronic keyboard, for the ADDS Viewpoint 122 (as mentioned
above).
   Thanks a million,
