Yup, I have a keyboard.

I'd like it for my RT.

Me too. We could all meet somewhere and fight
for it. :)
Can I put money on the fight so I can buy it from the winner? The question, since I'm pretty ignorant of
X11-pre-R6, is if I install
the X11 & AIXWindows packages, will the RT speak XDMCP to a Linux or
NetBSD X-terminal? Or heck, even my X-Station 150?
Inquiring minds gotta know. I'm not loadin all that krap without
either a mouse or remote access to the AIXWindows desktop. I'm
*dreaming* of 5.25" floppies.
I'd be surprised if it didn't work. XDMCP has been around a
while...I don't remember what release of X it made its debut in, but I
was running XDMCP with X-terminals (Sun3/50s and XKernel) nearly ten
years ago...RTs weren't nearly so old then. I'll be at least some
useful X can be built on an RT, depending on the OS. Probably X11R4.
