Does anybody know where I might get a PC card that can act as a virtual
keyboard to another PC? That is, I want the card in PC #1 to send data
that looks like keyboard input data to the KEYBOARD INPUT CONNECTOR at the
back of PC #2. All this has to be done, such that PC #2 thinks there is
just a keyboard attached to it rather than a PC. (Diagram given below.)
Has anyone heard of a card or setup that might be able to do this? If
not, can anyone direct me to information that would explain the keyboard
architecture and protocols. I already have the XT and AT Technical
Reference manuals that I can work through, but it would be better if
someone knew of a book with at title like "So -- You Want to Build a
Keyboard". :-) Thanks.
