I just wanted to send this privately.
I have a number of 3278/79 keyboards that I could *loan* you (as I have exactly the
number of keyboards to match terminals) for documenting.
The problem is getting together. I was just down in Santa Clara a couple of weeks ago
for work and I probably won?t be down again until either late October or early November.
My most common keyboard is the ?data entry keyboard? but I do have a typewriter style
keyboard for my 3279 and the operator keyboard for the console on my 4331.

yes, or at least get all the 25-pin parallel keyboard protocols documented
before a keyboard in thousands of dollars instead of hundreds.
Bob Rosenbloom let me borrow a 3178 keyboard to document.
I have also been thinking about something like the 3megabit ethernet cape that Ken
Schrriff did
https://github.com/shirriff/alto-ethernet-interface except it would replace a 3174.
3174-23R with ethernet option is complete overkill for a situation where you want to
attach
one coax terminal to ethernet, like most people wanting a real console on Hercules want
to do.
