Do you guys want original LK201s, or other keyboards that LOOK like LK201s
in the caps and layout, or converters?
I am a little confused... LK201 clones do not have the clip offset on the
terminal connector, so you would have to replace the connector. I have no
idea if the protocol, voltage, etc is the same.
I think you're confused between terminals and keyboards.
LK201 keyboards don't have offset clips (MMJ connectors). Instead, they use a
standard telephone handset connector.
What I was talking about is a way to use a PC USB keyboard in place of an LK201, when your
last remaining real LK201 has just failed. That involves a USB jack, a LK201-compatible
handset jack, some electronics, and software to speak the protocols involved. That's
what I have just prototyped.
