Please learn how to be helped - don't just say something "didn't work" - explain: was there an error message? did it return the dos prompt but appear to do nothing? what happened when you ran it?

Some old MS-DOS (I remember it from an Amstrad PC-1512 floppies, but that was MS-DOS 3.20) does NOT have the keyb comand. They have a keybxx command for every language supported. So it would be keybuk (UK keyboard), keybsp (spanish), keybit (italian)...
Do a dir keyb*.* to find which ones are present on your DOS. If you don't have an italian one, get the DOS floppies from an italian computer (maybe from an Olivetti?).
I have traveled across the universe and through the years to find Her.
Sometimes going all the way is just a start...
Just use "keyb it". You may not need to specify the codepage.
You also may try "keyb it 437"
Tell me if that had success.

That's how I remember it, too.
There are also third-party keyboard drivers of just ~500 Byte of size.
They were being spread via public domain disks, mailbox systems, CompuServe, Shareware CDs etc.
Maybe Hobbes or a similar site has such drivers in its library.

That's fine, but the version of DOS was specified as 3.30 and it does have the keyb command. I tested it before replying.
