Default Sun Keyboard on PC and max232 IC

Hello,

I want to connect a Sun Keyboard (not USB!) to my PC. I've read that
it's possible to connect this keyboard to rs232 using a max232 IC and
some "inverter" IC.

Can someone please give me as much information about this as possible?
I've not found much about this on the net. No fotos of working circuits
and no real circuit diagram.

Someone here who has someting like this running?

I would buy my parts from the german seller "reichelt.de". See here:
http://www.reichelt.de/

Maybe someone here is able to use their website.

Which of the "max232" ICs they sell is the right one for me? Is it
possible that there are max232 ICs where I don't need the capacitors? If
so: Which ones?

Which "inverter IC" from reichelt.de may I use?

Can someone give beginners-friendly instructions on how to solder the
parts together?

Thank you very much in advance

CU

Manuel
