docs.google.comKeyboard Decoding (18slides x 1.4mb/illustration ... 25mb)

It would almost would have been smaller had I shot a video.

If you want to post a scan of the keyboard matrix/printed circuit, I could tell you how to wire it up.

oh my god, i love you man/woman!(lol) That was exactly what i needed to get the ball rolling on this! The first thing i will do is get everything i need, get it all running on one power source, a screen, and then this!

^ ^ ^ ^ Glad to help. Please ask about the keyboard so that I know how to improve the slideshow (aside from making it not ginormous)

Wow, if some of those are IBM (or identical ones with different brands on them) "clicky" keyboards, I'll buy them off of you.

Sorry;
while four of these are the 'clicky' IBM model M, (and a 'clicky' Atari XT 51xx!) I will not be selling them since I use these to get clients to pay a retainer for my services and use/rental of my equipment.

The Model M (possibly the best typist's keyboard) is still manufactured today by Unicomp, and restored commercially by a number of other companies.

uuuuhh...kay, so, have made exactly NO progress on this, but i think i may be able to get a hold of a dc, plus, i think i may have changed my design...

Sorry guys, but this project is canceled.

thanks snow cat and kyle he might of canceled but i will be making something similar to this i might use an actual dreamcast keyboard they are like 5 bucks on ebay and my friend might have a extra lieing around first i need to get my hand on a cheap dreamcast, garage sales here i come because in Illinois (united states for European people) the weather is warm now and the grass is yellowish with must less snow

SO! I may be able to finish this, I have been working on a different project, an n64 in a GameGear case, so when I finish that, I should be able to start working on this again!
