there are Y-adapters that will multiplex two keyboards to one PC
a google search for "dual keyboards" turned up several so I just picked one
at random as an example link
http://www.fentek-ind.com/y-adapter.htm
the IBM keyboard uses a clock line in its comunication with the PC so
it gets a little more complex than just wiring them in parallel
a friend was using one of these for a while ,he liked a split keyboard
and his better half was used to a standard one
if they both started typing the text would be all mixed together (she
usually won)
