As I walked yesterday through my local electronic shop, I saw a SUN
Keyboard ( Type 4) at a price, where I can't say no. I got it right now,
but there is a little problem with it: I don't want to use it for a SUN, I
want to use it for a normal 386 AT box (no, I'm not using DOS --
Interactive's 386/ix is much better!!).
Scan-code converting is quite simple. But where can I get information
about other features of that kind of Keyboard? I allready read the
include-files from sun, but they are not so informative. Here is a list of
what I want to know:
1) There are some dip-switches on the left side at the bottom. What are
they good for ?
2) The keycodes seem to be transmitted serial (syncronous) at 1200baud.
But what format is used? Can I tell the keyboard to use 1200baud, 1
startbit, 8 databits, 1 paritybit & 1 stopbit ?
3) There are some LED's on the right side. How can they be turned on or
off ?
4) Inside the keyboard is a litte speaker. What are the commands to use it
(not only as simple bell!) ?
5) Can someone please send me a command summary of the keyboard ? (If
there is one in the documentation for a SS1, please tell me where)
6) Perhaps someone has allready connected a SUN keyboard to a 386AT
(*smile*)???
