...I just took at look at integrating it, and before I do, I have a couple
of suggestions:
(1) The code that interprets the lk201 scancodes... that should
be a table lookup, indexed by scancode, not a series of
if ... else if ... else if ...
(2) You currently don't do the LEDs and whatnot... there is some
code in sys/arch/pmax/dev/lk201.c that you might be able
to lift to do the bell, leds, etc.
(3) There are some other integration issues, esp. w/ how the
TC framebuffer console attachments are done. Currently,
those are going to require the NEW_SCC_DRIVER option. Some
of this is waiting for me to set up a test lab so that one
of the NI ZS driver gooroos can help me with the tricky
wiring of the SCC in the TC systems.
...anyhow, if you'd like to take on projects (1) and (2), that would be
fantastic :-) At least (1) should be finished before the code is integrated
into the source tree.
