KBD V1.4a =========== KBD is a software-driver that allows you to connect a DEC LK201 keyboard to your Atari ST (with TOS 1.4 in ROM). You can do this through the RS232-interface without hardware- extensions or -modifications to the ST. There is even no need to open it. The idea and the kernel algorithm were first implemented from Mark Boyd in his DECKEY-program. Because of some TOS-dependent, hardcoded addresses (one of them is mandatory) it doesn't work with TOS 1.4. Since the assembler-source is difficult to mantain and extend, I decided to rewrite it in 'C' with some additional features. Similar to DECKEY KBD is an interrupt-driven program which reads LK201-scancodes from the serial port, converts them into ST-scan- codes and gives them to the OS as if they were sent from the original keyboard. It also handles the shift-register. Special thanks to: - Mark Boyd for his idea and algorithm - Noud van Kruysbergen for the idea of monitoring disk I/O by 'bending' the RWABS-vector. - Jeff Lomicka for the codes to activate the lamps on the LK201.
