They all look fairly similar. What I meant is that the ones with

a different, proprietary protocol. My PS/2 ones are at work so I can't
easily check. The only ones I have here are RJ11 LK401s, from VT420s.

You are the only one to say it speaks DEC and not ps/2 though it has a
ps/2 connector. The circuitboard looks like that of a LK201 when I take
it apart. It does have 3 barcodes on the bottom. It isn't
made by DEC but in
Mexico by someone
My LK401s, one UK layout, one German, both say Made in Mexico but they're
still DEC.
But it ways 5.0 VDC, so I guess it must be ps/2 and
not dec style since
dec has 12 vdc?
Sorry, I can't remember.
