SOL-20 keyboard question

    It's ASCII, but with a couple extra signals for reset and "local".  
There are a couple extended keycodes (>= 0x80) for load, mode select, 
the arrow keys, home cursor, and clear.

    It would be very easy to add a keymapping table to my KeyMapper 
project so that a PS/2 keyboard could be used.  It might even be 
possible to find a keyboard that would fit into the cut-out, with a 
little creative work.
