PC Keyboard to serial adapter...

One item I've needed on several occasions was an ASCII keyboard (TTL or RS-323 levels) for a vintage system. While I do have a few Keytronic serial keyboards with TTL output - they are old and can be "flaky". I found a pair of products that convert a standard PS/2 keyboard to RS-232 ASCII output (and can be modified for TTL). In addition, the vendor was very cooperative about modifying his product to meet the needs of those of us in the vintage computer community. To be specific, the standard products support baud rates from 2400bps to 115Kbs. I contacted the owner of the company ("John Ursoleo" <jursoleo at att.net>) saying that for the vintage systems I was working with, I needed lower baud rates. John asked me to send my units back - and reprogrammed them to support the following baud rates: 110, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 and 19,200. He sent them back to me, and I tested them again with the low speed option and they worked great. The "low baud rate" version of these products can be ordered with the /LB option. Here's where to get the products, manuals, etc.: PS2ADPT http://www.versalent.biz/seradpt.htm PS2PRO http://www.versalent.biz/ps2pro.htm Note: The standard output of this product is RS-232 voltage levels - but it is easy to modify them for TTL levels. Doing so voids the warranty - so you are on your own with this mod. I have NO financial interest in this recommendation - it's just a good product I've found useful... Cheers, Lyle
