[HECnet] Worth getting a "VMS" keyboard?

[Mark Benson]

To do what? The OS won't support the keys and as a result a terminal from the host OS won't either. I am not 100% sure how SimH accesses the keyboard input and haven't tested a USB VMS keyboard with it. I fear the host OS won't map the keys forward?

FWIW my AB552A is USB with a PS/2 adapter.

My idea is to plug one of these into a Macbook Pro with a USB adapter, failing that, could I just get a 100+ key USB keyboard, do some tweaking and relabel the buttons?

Might be worth to get one if you can manage to find one (for a reasonable price).
HP's price is very high. Don't know if they still deliver them.

I've tried to use the PS2-style LK keyboards connected through a PS2 - USB dongle with my zx6000 with no luck.
