I built one, once upon a time, out of a Univac keypunch keyboard and some
TTL logic.
Worked great. Used it on my Altair for years Really nice LOUD CLICKS.
Loved it.
I suspect this would be tough to do with a modern PC keyboard, but if you
look at
really old stuff (like at a state/university surplus sale or some such) you
might find
something.

Anybody ever run across parallel ASCII keyboards, something suitable
for interfracing to a 6820 port? Serial terminals & kbrds seem much
more common - kbrd isn't really a bandwidth hog - but all my software
was coded for a parallel port.. Currently I'm using the joystick ports
of an Atari 800 (another 6820) - which is actually kinda nice
(a programmable keyboard!) but would eventually like to find the
real thing.
