As for a potentially nice Serial interface I'm experimenting with Zterm from: http://www.coolstf.com/ looks nice and is very configurable... Do you have any idea of the data stream the keyboard needs? You need a start bit? I thought most serial communications used a single start bit when in 7 bit mode.

OBJECTIVE: Replace missing 9100 Programmer Keyboard.
Unfortunately Hyperterminal doesn't have a start bit otherwise I could try the theory....
Awful convoluted to use a PC in terminal mode just for a keyboard for the 9100 but I'll take it at the moment!
Thanks, Kev
And remember, an AT keyboard is nowhere near 1200 baud. And the AT keyboard not only tells you when a key is pressed, it also tells you when it is released.
It's starting to sound like the 9100 keyboard just sends simple text as it's typed. If that is what it is REALLY doing this should be very simple. (Uh, what are we trying to do again?)
