  Okay, whos got the plans to do this?  I have been thinking of doing 
this myself.  My original idea was to use a small microcontroller plus
EEPROM in line with the keyboard cable.  The uC would perform all
the translation of scan codes and use the EEPROM for programable function
keys or to allow you to dynamicaly remap any of the keys.

  What do these other plans look like?

   What?  Preemptive Multitasking in only 256K of RAM?  :^)  :^)
