+About 3 years ago, I got interested in pc k/b input (I wanted to tie a

Along these lines, does anyone know what sort of output Wyse keyboards
produce? I like the "orginal AT" layout, but the only keyboard currently
manufactured with that layout that has an acceptable feel (that I've been
able to find) is one by Wyse. I suppose it's too much to hope that they
use the same serial encoding as PCs and just have a different connector...
All I need to do is get it into a compatible serial format; mapkey can
deal with different scan codes. I'd be more motivated to find a spare
keyboard somewhere if I knew I wasn't going to have to build a
microcontroller format translator :-)
