This post spends a lot of attention on how to fasten, glue and adapt a specific existing keyboard and monitor from a 1U rack mounted console. If I would need a similar serial console, it will end up differently - just because my parts are different.

I wonder if there is anyone doing VT-340 emulation like that - shouldn’t be impossible to transpile the ROMs to something modern (I guess this is what was done here) and fill in the hardware support gaps.
