Hello, Does anyone have any information, or better yet a manual, on the DEC LK201 keyboard??? I'm interested in how to program this little beastie. I am doing an alternate port of X11r4 to my ISI68k and the keyboard for my ISI looks very much like a LK201 in appearance and behavior. I would like to take full advantage the keyboard (in regards to setting modes, LEDs, and using the speaker) when doing the port. I'm disappointed that ISI never took the time to add the support for the full LK201 (clone). After all, that would only given their workstation the same features as all of it's contemporaries on the market. Of course, I could be wrong in thinking that the ISI workstation keyboard is a LK201 clone. If so, would someone please tell me? If anyone noticed that there is no speaker on the ISI keyboard, they're correct. Although, if you open up the keyboard you'll find a pair of pins on the far top-right marked "clicker". Try plugging a speaker into it sometime and rebooting the system - you will presented with chorus of beeps, buzzes, boops, and whines. Somehow the system turns off all this neat stuff and turns the poor ISI keyboard into a dumb ASCII keyboard. -Freeman P. Pascal -- Freeman P.
