using cortron keyboard for sun under linux


Hi!

I've got an Cortron keyboard with a Trackball. Seems to be a real good keyboard, but unfortunately it is for Sun Computers.

Does anyone know how/if i can use this keyboard (and probably also the trackball) under linux??

The keyboard has one R232 connecter.

I would be really happy if it would work :-)

well no , I'm too worried about damaging my keyboard :-(

I also would have to connect my keyboard via a Nullmodem cable. This seems a quite bit strange to me.
