Re: IIe Keyboard On A II Plus

/me hit me with a clue-by-four.

I never even bothered to think about those encoders as micro
controllers. Hell, and I have documentation not very many others have
even seen.. apparently I've not looked at all of it either.

...and if it's emulating a 16 pin keyboard it should work anywhere,
Franklins, clones, whatever.

Ironically.. those weird ass //e clones that had a 16 pin keyboard
connector instead of the 26 pin.. should be happy now.

I like the original //e keyboard still, the best. I have been clocked
at 110 WPM on that thing. Used to inspire school kids in a room full
of //e's that was at a nearby school, they used them for typing
lessons until about 6 years ago. I'd test keyboards after installing
them, take the lesson book, flip to the back side, and just go for it.
The whole class would gradually stop and be looking 'cause they hear
fast typing and then I'd say something like "if you stop paying
attention to me, instead of that book on your desk, you can type like
this too"

There were usually gasps and wows.. the teacher liked it, I was
convinced the service calls used to get done on 'purpose'.
