It seems to me that such a device could be designed to not need
modification of the keyboard itself. Instead, it would look a
little like a PS2->AT adapter, or it could even *be* one of them
too; you would insert it between the computer and the keyboard.
With USB it might be even easier: just plug in a dongle to a USB
port.
