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?
