- How easy would it be to build a device that interfaces to a PC via the
- keyboard port? I need to hook up a small keypad I have, and scrap the
- keyboard.
-
- I'm sure that pinouts are a FAQ, but I can't find it. What I really need
- to know, though, is the protocol used.
-
- Since the joystick can handle 4 buttons and 4 pots (correct me if I'm
- wrong), I may be able to use this, but I don't know the pinouts, pot
- values, or port numbers. I'd much rather use the keyboard.
-
- Any information on either the joystick or the keyboard would be appreciated.
