[stuff deleted...] Your request might be more successful if you explained more about what you are trying to do -- to pique people's interest :-) Your first problem will be that the PC/AT/?? keyboard uses serial, not parallel communications. One idea you might consider -- hook up a CRT and use a COMx port. If you are looking for special scan codes as would be generated by a PC/AT/??, there are lots of CRT's on the market meant for use on multi-user DOS platforms (i.e. using Multi- Link, PC/MOS-386, etc.), which generate (I think) the same scan codes as the actual PC/AT/?? keybord. Some fairly quick experimentation would reveal the truth. TTFN <ed.leslie@canremote.uucp --- ~ DeLuxe 1.11a20 #1656
