Apple II and IIplus keyboard encoder project

["Vince Briel" <vbriel@removethisspamcamcast.net>]

Recently I noticed I have quite a number of bad keyboard encoders for Apple 
II/IIplus laying around. I decided to make a small board that replaces the 
encoder board with a microcontroller and write code to handle to matrix 
keyboard to 7 bit ASCII conversion. I have a working prototype with a couple 
small details to work out. I was wondering if anybody out there is in need 
of a replacement encoder board for their Apple II or IIplus? I may make a 
batch of these if there is enough interest.

While I was at it, I added code to allow you to attach a PC style ps/2 
keyboard to the board so you can have an external keyboard if you want. 
Since the only cost addition was the ps/2 adapter I thought I would make 
this possible too. I will try and post pics but right now I'm just working 
with a wirewrap board so it isn't much to see.
