Bob, as near as I can tell, the two are not even remotely convertible. There is a keyboard our there that will talk to both (the NorthGate OmniKey Ultra), but you still need to flip a dipswitch to make the conversion. BTW, I've got the same switch-box, so if you run into any info about allowing to use one keyboard with the other system, I'd love to hear it. I think the actual problem is the way keys are scanned, but I'm guessing on that. Brian bjbart@watserv.ucr.edu
