Greetings, Okay, I'll admit my dream mode is on here... But I just got a new keyboard at work and it reminds me just how much I like these things. I realize that at a technical level the sun type 5 keyboards work differantly than a regular PC keyboard, which would make this task easier said than done, but... What would it take to try to get a sun type 5 keyboard and mouse working on a FreeBSD workstation? I'm assuming this would be a best classified as a hack, and might be looking at modification to the bootblocks and the kernel, as well as finding some method of running the keyboard through the serial port... Unless of course for some odd reason the keyboard port on a p/c can actually handle a sun keyboard (but I'm kind of thinking it won't). *shrug* thoughts? --- Joe Diehl <joed@ksu.edu> PGP Key: finger joed@unix.ksu.edu
