	Evening all.

	I have just decided to use IBM keyboards on the new system I have 
finished building. However being a ascii man, I do not understand EBCDIC
or whatever it happens to be. 

	Can someone explain breifly what serial coding system they employ
and how many bits it consists of and what format is supports.

	Using this I will latch it into an eprom, which will directly readdress
as ascii, enabling me to manipulate the info with ease.


		Thanks.
