How to make extra keys on Wang 724 work as intended
I have an old Wang model 724 which has some keys that do not register properly such as the f keys past 12 which register as alt+other f keys and the right arrow keys on the numpad and the other right arrow key do not work at all. I was wondering if there is some software or driver I can use to get the full functionality of the keyboard back with. If possible I would like to be able to use the function keys with a modifier pressed to get up to the full 32 for use as hotkeys. This is my first post on this site so I apologize if this is not the place to ask this.
Currently I am using an AT to ps/2 adapter and a usb to ps/2 adapter together. I have not heard of the tmk or soarer converters before, do they allow you to completely remap the keys or do they only allow defining macros for keys?

Both allow you to completely remap keys in addition to macros, as long as you figure out what scan codes those keys are sending.
You can either buy one here:

Or make your own. Some soldering required.
