Here is a strange, but useful ( I hope ), posting for
comp.binaries.atari.st. It is the documentation and binaries
for connecting a DEC LK201 keyboard to a ST. It works great
and it fixes the worst feature of the older STs. I'm using
it with the midi port on my 1040 ST and a friend of mine is
using it with the serial port on his 520 ST.
The strange part is the hardware aspect - we have no
comp.hardware.atari.st arcive 8^)! Actually no hardware mods
are required to run use the keyboard with the ST serial port.
It just takes a small external power supply and an adaptor
to convert the keyboard's RJ11 connector to a DB25. The midi
port version does require an internal modification to the ST.
That's is just to change the mid port's baud rate. The docs
detail the harware stuff.
