Subject: Re: LK401 Keyboard
Keyboards seem quite rare. I have a couple of Vax Stations that are short of keyboards and
I think these take an LK401 so I would also like one if any one has one. I am pretty sure
he knows keyboards are hard to find and so he sells them outside E-Bay. Give him a ring
and see what his price is. I got one and it wasn't totally extortionate. Daft thing is
if he listed the keyboards with the terminals I am pretty sure the price would go up....

was a bad price for a VT420, but it would have been much better if it
included the keyboard.
If I remember correctly, the LK201 from a VT220 or a VT320 will also work
correctly on a VT420. Can anyone else confirm this?
That make help you to locate a keyboard that can be used with a VT420.
For example, the keyboard for a VT100 is completely incompatible with both
the VT220 and VT420.
