I have one of those with me, and I was planning on doing the PET work
once I assemble it, but first, I have to get a bare PET motherboard
working so I have someplace to hang the C=Key off of.

The serial port idea sounds pretty cool.  I might have to implement
that as well as the "regular" PS/2 interface.
