Paul, The VT LAN 40 does use the PS-2 keyboard protocol like the VT501. The main board of the unit is a PC mother board running Windows 3.1 from ROM. It has some amount of non-volatile memory to store session settings. It does sound like a protocol translator like you design but in reverse would allow the older more common VT keyboard to be used.
