RetroChallenge 2022/10 Entry

SBCs + Keyboards!! I will figuring out how to interface keyboards with some 6502/6809 SBCs, playing around with PS/2 interfaces, and, if I have time, build my own parallel ascii keyboard.

I will probably be focused on using my 6502 based Synertek MBC020, MC6800 based CMS 9600A, and MIKUL 6218 for its extra RAM and 6522 VIAs. Maybe the Apple II+, too.

Update! Change of plans... I just bought a Radio Shack TRS-80 MC-10 and I am going to spend the month using it, connecting it, and upgrading it!

  • Connect to printer
  • Add some utilities
  • Connect as terminal
  • Expand the RAM
  • HID keyboard?
