I +abandoned it because the software got unwieldy). Along these lines, does anyone know what sort of output Wyse keyboards produce? I like the "orginal AT" layout, but the only keyboard currently manufactured with that layout that has an acceptable feel (that I've been able to find) is one by Wyse. I suppose it's too much to hope that they use the same serial encoding as PCs and just have a different connector... All I need to do is get it into a compatible serial format; mapkey can deal with different scan codes. I'd be more motivated to find a spare keyboard somewhere if I knew I wasn't going to have to build a microcontroller format translator :-) John -- John DuBois spcecdt@deeptht.santa-cruz.ca.us KC6QKZ Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
