I don't have a Mod IV. But if I build something
here in Brazil, will you
be able to duplicate it there?
As long as the instructions aren't in Portuguese ;-)
You might also talk to Jim Brain; he had/has/will have a PS/2 > matrix kbd
adapter for CBM machines and I assume that it would just be a matter of
revising the matrix layout for a Mod IV.

I gather that although the old version is still available he's more or less
abandoned it and is working on a more flexible USB version now.
Someone else is also working on a cheap and simple version for a PET, but
there's always room for one more, especially if it actually appears ;-)

Subject: PS/2 Keyboard adapter for TRS-80?
Does anyone on the list know if there is an adapter
for TRS-80s (Model
I/III/IV) to use PS/2 Keyboards?
Cloud-9 makes one for the Color Computer, but the keyboard matrix between
the two families are slightly different.
My friend has a Model IV with a bad keyboard (the thin film ribbon is
damaged) and replacement keyboards don't come up on eBay all that often.
Thanks!
