Interface the keyboard from a Displaywriter with a modern PC?
Hello everyone, I like the new discussion system. Anyway, could someone
please write directly to this man and possibly help him out?

Say, here's a question: I have several Displaywriter systems plus an extra
keyboard, which in my opinion was the best every produced.
I would like to interface the keyboard with a modern PC. I've been through
months of trying to network within IBM and with the person who originally
ported MS-DOS for the Displaywriter, but all I've got so far is that the
keyboard PROBABLY has a standard IBM serial interface, and it MAY be
possible to write PC software which would translate the serial input into
"normal" keycodes.
Any suggestions?
