There is a patch to minix which does this. You get a /dev/keyboard or something
like that and you just need a line in your rc script to load the correct table.
I've got the source here somewhere is anyone is interested. I'd do it myself
but until gcc stabilises I won't have source to Linux. I can't get my News
admin to ftp the whole lot twice (or more).
