Thanks Michael, the idea has been on the shelf for a while until recently I 
decided to restore some of my IIplus computers and found serveral that 
suffered the ESD issue with these encoders. When I was at VCF last year for 
the Apple 30th I remember hearing Woz mention something about the ESD 
problem in the keyboards. Well, the encoding is all firmware and appears to 
work great. Then I added the ps/2 code used in the replica 1 but I was going 
to use a switch between the two keyboards as an option select. Well, I 
figured out that I could just poll select the two keyboards and send the 
keystroke data from both as they come in. This allows duel keyboard 
operation.

It may be possible to create a ps/2 to IIe but I don't have the time and it 
is a whole different animal.

I should have some together by next weekend.
