[comp.sys.dec] Need info the the LK250 keyboard

gleason@mwk.uucp (03/29/91)

  Can an LK250 keyboard be used in place of an LK201? If not, does
anyone have the technical specs on the LK250?

  Nope. The LK250 (IBM PC) protocol is different from the LK201 protocol. You
could swap the logic board from an LK201 onto an LK250, but I don't think that
accomplished what you want.

  The interface specifications for the LK250 come in two parts - the definition
of the IBM PC keyboard is found in the IBM Personal Computer/AT Technical Ref-
erence. The DEC-specific extensions are found in the VAXmate Hardware Technical
Manual, along with a subset of the IBM information.
