Sun (used to?) sells a $75 adapter to use your PC (PS2 or other)
keyboard on your sun workstation... should be at least possible to go
the other way. I assume you're not worried about the mouse? If so,
that might be tougher.
You may be able to wire your sun keyboard into the serial port... then
use a program (I forget it's name) designed to generate X events from
input on the serial port.
Good luck.
