Subject: KayPro II keyboard schematic?
Hi,
I recently bought a KayPro II keyboard. It contains a nice Keytronics
mechanical keyboard and really nice case. I'd like to convert it to a
parallel ASCII keyboard or just reuse its case but was wondering if anyone
had the schematics?
Please let me know if you have the KapPro II keyboard
schematics. Thanks!

How about leaving the keyboard intact and just adding a simple serial>parallel
converter between it and the VG box? Add an EPROM for code conversion
if necessary.
I've got some serial interface cards for Olivetti typewriters (with schematics) that
you could probably hack fairly easily if you didn't want to start from scratch; even
FIFO buffers for typeahead, although you wouldn't need that with a Vector.
