The Apple II keyboard encoder only signal new pressed keys (at the hardware level),
and not released ones... while the PC keyboard protocol signal both. So there is no
way to get a 100% compatibility. However I don't see why it shouldn't be possible to
get a pretty usable emulation with a microcontroller betwen the Apple keyboard
encoder and the PC keyboard input.

Cheers,
Robert
