Comment: I just found this sun type 4 keyboard and yes I found it in the trash but I was wondering if there was any way of conecting it to a pc via ps 2 or usb, also there was an old monitor that acompanied it that was made by at&t I dont know the exact modle number but it has a parallel style connector which I also assume it has something to do with sun, is ther a way to convert this to a vga port or some way of connecting it to a pc also. For those of you wondering I like the retro look and I guess I am a little bit of a wanna be, oh well it's all good thanks for any help!

Reply: The at&t monitor is most likely a dumb terminal. You can use it with unix flavors that support serial consoles. You can use a null modem cable. Not likely to find an adapter to connect a sun keyboard to a pc. People spend good money doing the reverse.
