I have just obtained a used DEC LK250 keyboard. For those who have not delt with these beasts, it is effectively a DEC LK201 with an AT compatible interface and powers up behaving much like a normal 101 key keyboard with a few exceptions (FN keys 11 through 20 send SHIFT-F(n-10)). It can also be put in its native mode where the function keys behave differently and some other control is possible (I believe). I would like to know if anyone has hacked support for this keyboard for either the console driver, /dev/kd (or whatever it's called in your neck of the woods) or at least an X-11 server. I'd even settle for a simple programming example which showed what command to use to turn off the keyclick on the ALT key. I know how to program the LK201, and have written support for that keyboard for another environment, but I lack any technical documentation on the LK250. If anyone can provide some information as to what documentation I should order from DEC, or if anyone has an extra copy of LK250 documentation laying around, please let me know. Sorry about the incoherency of this posting, but it's too early for me to be posting anyway. Thanks in advance... Daniel A.
