Yes.  In fact, the keyboard controllers are the same, and the signals
are electrically compatible.  Only the connectors are different.

You can actually get ps/2<->AT keyboard connector converters at many
computer stores.

Yeah, DEC is being ... phenomenally stupid here.

It's like, if they're going to charge an arm and a leg for DU, fine.
Charging an arm and a leg for the firmware is effectively changing the
price of the hardware based on the OS you're planning to run on it.

If that's "whatever it takes," then they must be in _really_ pathetic
financial shape...
