I have a Honeywell keyboard that I acquired a long time ago from a surplus
place. It is in great condition for a boat anchor (it's heavy! :-).
It is in good condition and I have managed to trace the electronics to
figure out the pinout of its 8-pin modular connector. It is a serial
keyboard running at 1200 baud (probably jumperable with other options
as well). There are some id numbers on the bottom of the keyboard but
none of them is blatantly a model number. The numbers are:
01271009-002 Rev. C
ti BKBDH01A-002 [11]
Ser.BRGXB-027602
The keys are laid out like a standard DEC keyboard, and there are 4 status
lights plus a power light (all controllable) on the top. It was manufactured
in 1983.
Anyway I have figured out what each key closure and release transmits.
What I don't know and would really appreciate any hints, help, or
documentation on are the possible codes to send to the keyboard to
control the various things that it can do (beep, click, light, etc).
Thanks alot, Eric.
