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.
