Some Mac keyboards would work. You'd want one with a mechanical caps
lock and
replaceable key switches. The reason I mention replaceable key switches
is
that you wouldn't want to go through all that work and have a key stop
working
the next day! I happened to have a IIgs keyboard with a damaged adb
connector
so that's what I used.
On the weekend I'll email you a wiring diagram and some other details
and
possible ideas.
