That would be uber cool.
Only trouble how to connect the Keyboard.


We should be able to connect the original keyboard to the top patch pins.
I'll look into the protocol.

That is true. Yet, it would be cool if we could connect the real keyboard onto the pins on the replay board directly aswell :)


Does anybody have any schematics of the A500/1200 keyboard?
I need to see the matrix. It may be possible to use the p3/p7 ribbon cable connectors for this.
Cheers,
Mike

Thanks, but that is the motherboard end. I need the schematic of the keyboard connector to the key contacts etc. I guess this has been reverse engineered already?
