The reference to the connector is the key to this statement. There are various keyboards used on various terminals, those with the narrow-width modular jack (RJ4) will work with the DEC 3000 series systems. :I think LK401 and LK411 work, but that's from memory. I know an LK201 will :work. LK201, LK401, LK40W, LK402, LK411, LK421, LK441, LK442, LK443, LK444 should all work. Of these, the LK401, LK40W, LK402, and LK411 would be the preferable keyboards, this due to the OpenVMS keyboard layout used. Of the commonly-found recent keyboards, the LK461, LK46W, PCCAL, and PCXAL series keyboards will NOT work. (There are other keybaords that will not work, BTW.) -- As might be assumed from the above list, I've been keeping a list of the various keyboards and associated connectors for a while now, (so before anyone asks) I'll add the list to the next OpenVMS FAQ... -- Check the FAQ for details on keyboard and peripheral compatibility. --------------------------- pure personal opinion --------------------------- Hoff (Stephen) Hoffman OpenVMS Engineering hoffman#xdelta.zko.dec.com
