What was even more fun was transferring files TO a
machine with no real
connectivity (a Merganthaler from hell). Box of solenoids on the
keyboard!
:-)
If the keyboard is a seperate unit and internally encoded (that is, it
sends character codes or keycodes on a parallel or serial interface) it
may not be too hard to make another machine pretend to be that keyboard.
If it's just a matrix of switches, it mau be a little harder if you need
to be able to press several keys at once.
