Q: inputattach for serial device sending PS/2 like make/break codes ?

[Ralf A. <ra...@KO...>]

Hello,

i'm just about to make a module that enables a serial keyboard that
just sends make/break like codes in a PS/2 keyboard like coding:

schematics:
 PS/2 KB => straight-through PS/2 to serial converter => serial port

This is for attaching PS/2 input devices to computers that only have
serial input (like the Compaq iPAQ PDAs).

I'm about to start with the code for sunkbd.c or the Newton/Stowaway
keyboard module. Before i do i would like to make sure that this
functionality doesn't exist already though, or there's a better way to
begin with.

Are there any suggestions, things that i should pay special attention too?

best regards
 ralf
