Oops. Sounds like you have an LK450, LK461 or LK471,
not an LK401. LK401
uses a DEC protocol, the others are PS/2-style keyboards. They're not
interchangeable, I'm afraid. There should be a label on the underside,
with three barcodes, the top barcode being the model number. Does it say
LK401, or something a little different?
You are the only one to say it speaks DEC and not ps/2 though it has a
ps/2 connector. The circuitboard looks like that of a LK201 when I take
it apart.
It does have 3 barcodes on the bottom. It isn't made by DEC but in
Mexico by someone:
<barcode>
119-4022-01 VT
LK401 North American/UK
Date code <barcode>
serial number <barcode>
Cat list 108rx43s-145e
But it ways 5.0 VDC, so I guess it must be ps/2 and not dec style since
dec has 12 vdc?
Thanks also to Kevin Handy and Ethan Dicks for your help.
Happy new year!
