Ok,
The LK201, 301 and 401 are interchangeable, regardless of the cpu
used internally. There is NO VAX, Decmate, Pro version or
rainbow version save for different colored key caps. I regually swap
LKx01 where x={2,3,4} keyboards with any VAX, Decmate, VT220,
320, 330, 340, Pro3xx and friends. They all used the same cord set.
I happen to prefer older LK201 for keyfeel, and later LK401s for
the sculptured layout.
The LK250 however is a TOTALLY different animal and uses
different keycoding to be compatable with PCs or VAXmate
(a sorta PC). There are several different cordsets for this one.
