My intention was that it would be a pass-through: you plug the
cable from the keyboard into one end and plug the other end of
the device into the keyboard port. Then actually installing it
would be trivial: reach behind the machine, pull out the keyboard
cable, plug in the device, plug the keyboard cable into the
device.
Actually making the device itself would be nontrivial, but it
would not be necessary to make it in the office in question; make
it outside on your own time and carry it in. Or is this office
one where you are frisked for this sort of thing as you go in?
To me, this is just an intellectual game; I don't know anything
about this sort of office.
