Re: Apple II and IIplus keyboard encoder project

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

One thing I didn't mention in detail is that this only works on those Apple 
II/IIplus keyboards that have a seperate encoder board. There are some Apple 
II keyboards out that don't have encoder boards and this board will not work 
with them.
