Is there some way of adapating AT/XT/clone keyboards to work with
an RT?  The plugs are different (round ?6 pin with AT, rectangular 6
pin with our RT's), and there may be no electrical/logical similarity...
but it is worth the hope.

(I can ``mentally'' remap any keys except Caps-Lock and Control -- and
 under AIX (2.2.1) (no, i unfortunately can't switch to AOS) there is
 no way in software to remap these -- not even in X with Xmodmap).

If we can switch keyboards, it's time to say goodbye to X and hello
to a terminal on the serial port!


Thanks,
- mike
