Nah, not even close. In the unit I mentioned in my other message on

I don't see that being able to handle talking to a PC keyboard, though.

At this
late date it would probably be easier to design
and build an interface so that a common PS/2-type keyboard
could be used, along with some self-adhesive key-top stickers.
Seems like overkill - the interface would need more processor power
than the ZX81, most likely.
