Oh, *that* Tom Jennings! I wasn't paying adequate attention. Your
name is all over the "useful people to know if you own a Rainbow"
documentation I have (Yes, I own a 100A, 8087 adaptor, 832k RAM, Hard
drive board and an ST-225 (I think?) in it right now.)

Welcome!

Did you mean "could" if there weren't legal obstacles, or were you
just waiting for us to ask?

If the latter, please do.

On a semi-related topic, I have a Dvorak keyboard remapper program
for Rainbow that seems to intercept the MS-DOS keyboard input
routine, then do a table look-up to change the key to the appropriate
one. It is widely reported to work on an RB100B or +. It does not
work on my -A. Any good ideas why?
