I think this exactly what I wanted to have ;-) Moreover, it means that we
can share key-map tables with the i386 port and probably some others.

Ok. I hope 'a way' means by sending a command packet to the keyboard?

Actually, what I meant here was that the best thing to do here was to let
TOS receive MF-2 codes and translate it to whatever it wants by means of a
translation table that can be loaded. I don't know if this is possible
(TOS-wise I mean). This is particulary easier for people that don't have
EPROM burners directly at hand (eq. me ;-)

Anyway, I'm aready looking forward for the new ikbd-prom!
