After years of using nicely encoded keyboards the AT/PS2 deal is a mess. Allison ---------------------------------- REPLY: Well, you could always replace the encoder in the keyboard, although I think the matrix has a few more lines than were used in the old days. I've got a bunch of index-card-size SBC terminals (both colour and m/c) that you could use as a kbd>RS232 encoder, but alas, they all use XT type keyboards AFAIK. There are of course commercial PS/2 or matrix<>RS232 encoders, but the ones I use are a little expensive ($100, Hagstrom KE24). Finally, here's more good info re reading a PS/2 keyboard: http://www.computer-engineering.org/ps2keyboard/ mike
