- You know that just about every EE/CS guy and their brothers
- have done their own XT keyboard drivers, right? It
- might help if you standardized on a specific keyboard, such as the original
- IBM one for instance -- the chance that source code is availiable for
- one of those is much greater than for, say, the Joe's Junk Chinese
- Import $10 XT keyboard.
-
- I interfaced an XT keyboard to my Commodore 64, but instead of reprogramming
- the keyboards 8048, I just programmed another 8748 from scratch to take in
- the (standardized) XT signals and spit out what the C-64 wanted to see.
