Rob -
It has been 35+ years since I worked for an Apple dealer, during the Macintosh
announcement (and Apple sales, service training). I no longer have any of
those documents.
The Apple Community is extensive, and a quick Google search turned up many
comments about Flyback, Damping Diode, &

A DEC Part Number would speed up your Part Search.
Radwell, a surplus dealer in New Jersey, lists a DEC terminal Flyback
Transformer.
DEC Part number: 16-27975-01 (supposedly used in the DEC VT320 terminal)
Tai-Ho (Taiwan) was the OEM supplier for flyback transformers used by Apple in
the early Macintosh computers (1984+).
Russell Industries (New York, USA) produced replacement flyback transformers
for monitors and TVs, these appear on eBay and remaining TV repair supply
houses.

If anyone is interested in taking over my PS/2 mouse to DEC mouse adapter
(tested working on VAXStation, should also work on VT340+, etc)

You could implement both keyboard and mouse on one

Interesting starting point, but I tried to browse the code and it
flashed up instructions for how to use cvs or rsync to pull the code

Readymade cables exist to allow Wyse and other terminal keyboards to work on
USB. Would a reverse of this work?

Do you guys want original LK201s, or other keyboards that LOOK like LK201s
in the caps and layout, or converters?
I am a little confused... LK201 clones do not have the clip offset on the
terminal connector, so you would have to replace the connector. I have no
idea if the protocol, voltage, etc
I would absolutely be interested in this - while I'd love to use original
hardware where possible, it's not always easy to get peripherals at the same
time as machines. A long term dream of mine is to build some sort of
general-purpose box that can make connections to arbitrary vintage computer

I have one, but no documentation I'm afraid. The last time I turned it on was
20 years ago. The last thing I remember is the fuse in the display blowing. I
ordered replacements, but never got it going again.
They take a lot of power, where mine is currently sitting I don't have the
power to

Sorry, I can't help. Is there any software for it?
I do consider making an emulator for the E LDS-1.
Does anyone have, or know of low level documentation for Evans &
Sutherland Picture System 2 hardware?
I walk past a PS-2 monitor all the time and some of us started talking
about bringing it back to life. I'm not sure if more of the system
exists, but it might. I plan to check.

Yes, I'm interested. I also have a broken LK201, and I have a Trinket
lying around.
Paul -- I'm very interested in this. I'd love a USB keyboard adapter that acts
like an LK201.
