Hi -
I'm just guessing at what you are attempting to do, but I believe
you may need more information that. Here is a reference regarding the
IBM Keyboard, how it operates, what scan codes are issued, a picture
of a keyboard with all keys lettered with their values, and generally
what goes on inside.

As an additional bit of information, you may want to check
Al WIlliams site for the PAK-VI, and using it to interface
with a Stamp. His site is located here:

Hope that helps
