Peritek Serial Keyboard
The
Peritek Serial Keyboard
is a DEC LK401-AA unit which is
especially suited for applications which require long cables. The Serial
Keyboard uses the RS-232C protocol which can support cable lengths in
excess of 100 feet. It is a 4800 baud unit, and supplies a keyswitch matrix
code to the software. It uses an RJ11 4 pin (handset) phone connector to
pass data and power (+12) to the Keyboard.

Peritek PC Keyboard
The
Peritek PC Keyboard
is suitable for applications which
do not
require long cables, because it uses a TTL level electrical protocol which
cannot support cable lengths in excess of about 10 feet. 3rd party cable
extender/amplifiers are available to overcome this limitation. Peritek uses
the mini-DIN PS/2 keyboard connector to pass data and power (+5) to the
Keyboard. If you use a standard PC keyboard, you will need a PC DIN to
PS/2 mini-DIN adapter which is available from most computer stores.
