A1200>PC KBD hack

[olegil]

You need extra hardware. One PIC processor and some resistors and capacitors isn't excactly rocket science. Personally, I'll be doing my own version using Atmel AVR controllers one of these days, since I have a development kit for those lying around, and am trying to learn how to code for it (ok, so I learned that in a week, but some more practice won't hurt me :-) )

The Elbox adapter that plugs into the plastic ribbon connector on the A1200 sucks rats ass, because you can't use multiple keys at the same time. Try playing any game with only one finger ;-)

Btw, does anyone have any info on the Amiga keyboard protocol? I've now studied the PC keyboard protocol and feel about ready to start fiddling with those bits on the AVR MCU :-)
