Over at http://www.obdev.at/products/vusb/prjhid.html, the AVR V-USB
project site, there are a number of nifty low-cost AVR projects for
various keyboard USB projects, including replacing the electronics of
a Model M with a custom board, adapting a Sparc Station keyboard, a
RS232C serial terminal keyboard, a C64 keyboard...to USB.
I've been thinking of doing one of the Model M changes myself--it
appears to be a reversible modification.
Presumably you replace the PCB in the Model M with a new one. The rest of
the Model M is a membrane keyboard array (I've not traced out the layout,
and it;'s not in the TechRef, amazingly, but it wouldn't be hard to do)
and the LEDs.
Howeever, since the PC/AT keybaord itnerface is well-docuemtned,
wouldn't it be better to design a proper (i.e. without bugs) PC/AT
keyboard to USB converter?
