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.

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.

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!
