Using an LK201 Keyboard via an adapter for a x86 virtual session
Has anyone found a good USB adapter to use an original Dec LK201 keyboard on a PC running the VMI virtual VMS system? I’d like to do a bunch of editing using EDT and really need a true LK keypad to rock,on. Thanks.

For putty, all I see a choice of pre-defined keyboard mappings (VT100+, VT400, etc) with no way to define individual keys.
I wrote a program to report the codes read by SMG$READ_KEYSTROKE and get different responses between VT100+ and VT400:
- Find: 311 vs. 312
- Insert Here: 312 vs. 311
- Remove: 313 vs. 314
- Select: 314 vs. 315
- Prev: 315 vs. 313
- Next: 316 vs. 316
- PF1: null(numlock) vs. 256
- PF2: 47 (/) vs. 257
- PF3: 42 (*) vs. 258
- PF4: 45 (-) vs. 259
- MINUS: null vs. null
F17 is intercepted by Windows as the windows key.
