[Techtoolslist] 9100FT Programmer’s Keyboard

[William Stillwell]

A member sent me a Fluke Keyboard model # 757120 to help me finish
development of the Fluke Keyboard Emulator ( which will just be using a Pi
+ Python Script, you will need a Genovation Keypad programmed for the extra
keys , Ian i saw the one you bought on ebay, it looked like a "standard"
modified AT keyboard, now that i look at it closer, i see what the did with
the keys on that.  i wonder if you could just "dump" the eeprom or the chip
and we can program it to a standard IBM AT keyboard?

Link to the model # 757120 Keyboard, and the keyboard Ian purchased on ebay.
