One option is to buy Leonardo Padial's keyboard interface, which you can
use to connect any PC keyboard to your MSX. The interface is quite
expensive, but PC keyboards aren't. However, adapting a 8250 keyboard is
probably cheaper.

Sanyo made the 8250, Philips designed only the case, probably...

They look good in 82xx machines, but they are not good drives. Maybe it's a
better idea to try and mount the black front onto a PC drive.

It is said that it turns off the internal ROMs. Maybe it maps slot 1 to
slot 0 as well, otherwise the service cartridge wouldn't work.
