As for a potentially nice Serial interface I'm experimenting with Zterm from: http://www.coolstf.com/ looks nice and is very configurable...<br><br>
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.<br><br>

Unfortunately Hyperterminal doesn't have a start bit otherwise I could try<br>
the theory....<br><br>
Awful convoluted to use a PC in terminal mode just for a keyboard for the<br>
9100 but I'll take it at the moment!<br><br>
Thanks,<br>

&gt; And remember, an AT keyboard is nowhere near 1200 baud.&nbsp; And the AT<br>
&gt; keyboard not only tells you when a key is pressed, it also tells you<br>
&gt; when it is released.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; It's starting to sound like the 9100 keyboard just sends simple text as<br>
&gt; it's typed.&nbsp; If that is what it is REALLY doing this should be very<br>
&gt; simple.&nbsp; (Uh, what are we trying to do again?)<br>
