See
http://www.arne.si/~mauricio/kbdfaq.html for abundant information on
the keyboard,
and programming the controller. Basically, you connect it to a z80 the same
way as it is done
in the PeeCee - wire it to i/o port 60/64h and use the same logic to
program raw commands.
Normally, in homwbrew systems, people tend not to use a 8042 pulled from a
scrap board but talk
to the keyboard directly, through the serial protocol described above. The
keyboard itself typically
contained some 8048 controller to scan the kbd matrix.

Hi
Good idea! I don't think I'd had thought of it. shows imagination.
It isn't ASCII yet as I recall but not that hard to handle in software.
