|Actually, I heard about a piece of hardware which has a socket for an
|IBM keyboard in one end and a MIDI OUT in the other, which you can plug
|into your ST's MIDI IN port, and with the aid of software, use the
|keyboard. I don't remember anything else about it though..

there are some other solutions for that to. One you plug i piece of
hardware into the romport of your ST. One just tries to simulate keyhits
of the real ST-Keyboard with a piece of hardware put between the Original 
ST Keyboard and your ST Motherboard, so all other keyboardfunctions can be
accessed.. You only have sligthly other Keycodes, which can be remapped
with an XBIOS call (keytable funktion...)
