Hi,
I am sorry to say, I forgot about this Keyboard interface project.
My computer setup is based on PS/2 keyboard and mouse, input through a PS/2 to USB adapter, into a KVM Switch with USB input.
Connected to the KVM switch are to a Linux PC, Windows PC, which use USB, a Q68 and QL+QIMSI through a PS/2 switch box.
I was wondering how to integrate a second QL into the setup, maybe a second QIMSI is a solution or try and make an this keyboard interface.

Hi,
Was this keyboard project finalised?
Anyone tried to port it to RPi?
Regards
Chris

Hi,
I have done the schematic in KiCad, just need to settle on a PCB layout, but that is trivial.
I am wondering if a USB/PS/2 keyboard can be used in parallel with the existing QL keyboard.

Yes, this adapter works in parallel with the original keyboard.Derek_Stewart wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 7:06 am I am wondering if a USB/PS/2 keyboard can be used in parallel with the existing QL keyboard.

Re: USB Keyboard IF
I thought so, so the QL could be under the desk, with a switchable keyboard, integrating into a multi computer setup with a switch box.

No problem to use this adapter in a setup as described by Derek.Derek_Stewart wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 9:36 amI thought so, so the QL could be under the desk, with a switchable keyboard, integrating into a multi computer setup with a switch box.

Re: USB Keyboard IF
The CTRL, ALT and SHIFT keys are on their own line separate from any other keys, so pressing them and two other keys does not create a ghost click on the 4th corner. This adds one line on one axis of the table and three lines on the other, giving 9 and 11. The way this was done is very clever, I think.
