Controlling Second Computer Keyboard using LabVIEW

[craigr54]

Is it possible for my computer with LabVIEW installed on it to control a different computer booted only from a floppy (the floppy contains programs written in FOURTH used to test hard disk drives therefore the second computer has no operating system) The hard disk drive being tested is connected to the IDE 1 connector of the floppy booted second computer. Currently, the operator has to enter the FOURTH commands via the second computer's keyboard.

I recall a device called a "Wedge" that was inserted between a
keyboard and pc to provide input from a barcode scanner. This device
should also provide access from a second serial port on the Labview
pc
.
