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
