Thanks. That's a crazy high price for what "untested, for parts" with a

LK201s use 4800 baud UART interfacing. PC
keyboards with DIN connectors (PS-2) have a very different type of interface, nothing like
a UART. If the terminal you are talking about wants a PS-2 keyboard, as my VT501 does,
you need a protocol translator. It would essentially be the reverse of the LK201 emulator
for PS-2 keyboards I released a while back, and possibly the same board could be used with
a rather different program running on it.
