Hi, I have a rather unique problem that I think bochs can solve, and I was 
hoping that you could point me in the right direction.

I have a matrix programmable keyboard that has a DOS driver but no published 
protocols.  I can run the DOS driver through FreeDOS in bochs, but for some 
reason it can't communicate directly with the keyboard as it needs to to 
download the programming and upload it again when done.

I would like to have a program running under linux that emulates a keyboard, 
and essentially acts as a proxy to interface directly with the keyboard - 
logging the communication that happens at the same time.  Is there any way to 
redirect the keyboard accesses to a linux userspace program?  I'm thinking 
maybe a named pipe may be a way, but I don't know how to configure bochs to 
write to that instead of the keyboard device.  Is there a way?

Thanks.

--Russell
