- Yeap... There was a file on the old ab20 hardware directory that have
- a IBM keyboard adaptor project. I built it for a friend of mine for
- his A500 motherboard. It should be in the WU site and other sites that
- carrys the old ab20 stuff. The interface works with IBM PC & AT
- keyboards. There was a small bug for the PC/XT routine though.
