I recently restored a system that required a TTL serial keyboard. I
initially "hacked" a setup using a VT520 (RS-232) with a
"SchmartBoard"
RS-232 to TTL converter.
Then I found several Keytronic RS-232 serial keyboards on eBay from a single
vendor. After reading the specs, I found the keyboard supports both RS-422
and RS-423 by jumper settings. The default setting is RS-422 - which means
that one can use "one-side" of the differential output as TTL serial. It also
defaults to 300BPS - which is what I needed. (The specs say it can do 9600BPS
as well).
For those who care, the keyboard is "driven" by an 8048 8-bit microcontroller.
I bought four of these keyboards in a previous auction from the same vendor
and they are in excellent condition. He now has them listed again as item
#300237350802. Starting bid is $9.95...
Regards,
Lyle
