Please don't fall into the pitfall believing COTS USB / PS-2 converters will cope with the "extra keys" of a DEC keyboard. If your computer has USB only for keyboard - go for a true USB LK-keyboard.

I even tested a PCI card with PS-2 connectors. It showed up to actually be an USB PCI adaptor combined with a USB - PS-2 simple cheapo...

Please be aware that even if your current computer has PS-2, that might not be the case with your next computer...

And I agree totally, PC-keyboards really sucks if you want to operate for example the EDT-editor...

Besides, my fingers like the style and shape of true LK's before flat PC-keyboards...

Best regards,

Göran

Hello, I'm running OpenVMS 7.3 on a SimH/VAX. The PC keyboard is suboptimal (annoying), as several keys are missing and the NumLock light goes on and off when I press the key in the PF1 position.

So, I wanted to ask if anyone has gotten a particular DEC, Compaq, HP, or Cherry keyboard to work with a PC running SimH?

Over on comp.os.vms I heard that the LK463/LK464 (USB with PS/2 dongle) work. I'm in the market for one of those.

I received another report that the LK465 and the LK41R (PS/2 only) will also work. Wondering what keyboards folks here are using. Do you all just limp along with the commodity PC keyboard?

Thanks,
Nathan
