as the Programmers Keyboard, it does not match the +5 (that wire is actually
cut short at the keyboard end) and thus when I hooked up the +5 to the
keyboard it did NOT do the EDIT mode at all. Just seems to send junk, might
not be the right baud rate or scan codes at all. Rats. Back to the terminal

<BLOCKQUOTE class=cite cite="" type="cite">In my adventures with the 9100,
I did manage to find a Fluke keyboard on Ebay - but it is not the
Programmers Keyboard. Instead it is a model Y1700. It has the correct 5
pin DIN plug and it does allow the 9100 to trip into EDIT mode, however it
has no affect at all on the system - seems to not be the correct code or
baud rate or whatever. Oh, and it's crystal is a 2.0000 MHz.<BR><BR>Now it
uses a 8748 (U3 V1.0 #718171) and I was hoping that someone here with a
Programmers Keyboard could open theirs up and see if they use the same
chip, and if so they could read it and send me a copy to play
with.<BR><BR>I really don't have enough space to set up a terminal every
