I have a skeleton of the keyboard part that it is nearly coded ...

It is a generic console keyboard requiring key press/release events from
the MD part and doing the complete translation, keyboard maps via ioctl's etc.

Please get in touch.

This one is on my wish list. A MI console requiring only some basic
drawing primitives like clear-line, draw-string etc from the MD part.
