I wrote a keyboard driver some time ago which can load keymaps. It can
also use characters with codes >= 0x80 and <= 0x86 which is not
possible with the standard minix keyboard driver. It is available via
anonymous FTP from ftp.vmars.tuwien.ac.at in directory pub/minix/hp.

The only problem (I know of) is that it does not work with virtual
console.
