Yes, I know of few people. They used a self made converter. > It ought to be possible since Linux can run on Sparc. > > But maybe the hardware is completely different? > That's right. AFAIK PC keyboard interface is synchron (uses one bidirectional data wire) and Sun's one is asynchron (two wires, transmit and receive). > > Any hint? Check this one: http://www.it.kth.se/~pme/sunkbd.html You will find there a rather sparse description of a converter which should do the job. Although the circuit might look easy it requires from you some amount of electronic skill. If you don't have it do what I did: find a friend who has some :-) Seriously speeking, few days ago I built the converter and yesterday evening managed to program the eeprom in the microcontroller. This morning I gave it to a professional for debugging because it doesn't work :-( I will let you know as soon as there is some progress. > > -- > /Jörgen Hägg > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Regards, Chris Chris Osicki ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) GfAI - Group for Applied Informatics Ltd.
