Message-ID: <2229QAA@psuvm> Date: Wed, 11-Sep-85 16:02:48 EDT Article-I.D.: psuvm.2229QAA Posted: Wed Sep 11 16:02:48 1985 Date-Received: Sun, 15-Sep-85 10:00:08 EDT Lines: 23 I've seen ads for the Keytronics 5151 keyboard as a replacement to the standard IBM-PC keyboard. I've been able to use one for a short time, and liked the feel of it over the standard key- board. In my mind, the IBM-PC keyboard has "wonderful" feedback if you like to wake up the entire neighborhood when you type! A question tho, I've been told that the "extra" cursor keys have different "scan" codes than the original ones on the keypad, and that use of them would still be limited. Overall, just how useful is this keyboard? (aside from the quieter touch) I want to run a variety of communications programs also, and would like to find one that will take advantage of this kbd on a VAX/VMS system, any suggestions? Thanks for any suggestions! - Tim Bieling, System Manager ComCAD (PSUARCH) Bitnet: Bieling@psuarch.bitnet Manager@psuarch.bitnet Qaa@psuvm.bitnet
