Re: Apple II+ Keyboard
A thought did occur to me that I could develop not just a replacement adapter but kind of a duel keyboard adapter so that you could
use your regular keyboard or have the ps/2 available with just the flip of a switch. Any interest in that? This doesn't apply to the
IIe because ASCII encoding is done on the main board.
