DJATASH out of Canada developed a keyboard emulator based on a
DJAVIC-20.

I think that system is no longer available due to the demise of the
VIC 20. It was never updated to the C64. I have looked at the
possibility of doing that but it is not worth it. I am more
interested in a portable system which would drive a laptop.

DJAThere are plenty of serial-port synthesizers around; some Echo
DJAmodels and the Audapter are fairly portable (If you have access
DJAto the Blinktalk echo, make inquiries about synthesizers there).

I haven't access to TalkBlink yet but I am trying to find out if
it comes into Autralia. There are a lot of other very interesting
support group echos which would be useful here too.

DJAI really think a keyboard emulator should have a CRT display
DJArather than an LCD.

I agree, but for a portable the CRT is not viable. If only alpha-numeric
characters are required then perhaps a small display system driven by
the host PC would be possible.
