           I scrambled the previous message somewhat, here it is again:

       My father is very interested in getting a hardwired Dvorak keyboard
that will work on his kaypro 10.  He is currently using Smartkey to do the
Dvorak in software, but has had problems with that and similar programs,
especially when it comes to typing control characters.  The kaypro evidently
uses a serial port rather than a parallel port to connect the keyboard.
       What needs to be done to change the way the keyboard is decoded before
it goes into the computer?  Can one buy a serial Dvorak keyboard somewhere that
would work on the Kaypro?  He has contacted Kaypro, the keyboard manufacturer,
and the Dvorak society to no avail.  Any help would be appreciated.

               Thanks,   Jim Garey   garey@ut-ngp
