Except that I can tell you from experience that not all 4p4c terminal
keyboards are interchangeable. I you plug a Wyse into a Televideo, or
vice versa, the keyboard will not work, and sometimes causes a small

I would absolutely be interested in this - while
I'd love to use
original hardware where possible, it's not always easy to get
peripherals at the same time as machines. A long term dream of mine is
to build some sort of general-purpose box that can make connections to
arbitrary vintage computer
keyboard/mouse/video ports, and connect in to modern
HDMI & USB
peripherals to make it easier to just pull a machine off the shelf and
get going.
There is a project that seems to be going along the same idea,
