It is just a keyboard I made with microswitches. I printed a picture of the Timex Sinclair 1000 keyboard from at Walgreens. I modified the picture by stretching it out and moving the text on the keys over a bit. I printed blue circles where I drilled the holes for the switches. Then I used Modge Podge to affix it to a mahogany sheet of thin plywood. The box houses the regular computer and a 16k expansion module. The only mod to the computer is the keyboard of course and a modern voltage regulator. I replace the keyboard connectors with screw down terminals and use 2 rj45 connectors to plug in the keyboard. I Modge Podged all of the wood as a protective finish and screwed it all together.

That is very cool! And a nice affordable keyboard solution.

Fine with me. I could take better ones if you want. I didn't really take great ones.

Taking advantage of my lack of machine code knowledge doesn't seem fair.
All means all though.

I had to diet the original program to place this machine code routine... around 4kb.
Just for the dices dance...
