I have used a few of these devices made by Vetra (www.vetra.com) in the past. They have models that do RS232 to PC keyboard, discrete pushbuttons to PC keyboard, etc. Even though they don't use PICS they still work pretty well . It was several years ago that I did business with them, but their support was excellent. I still have a few of their boards in a box out in my garage, in fact. Dale --- We are Dyslexia of Borg.
