Subject: KayPro II keyboard schematic?
Yeah, like a 74594 shift register - 8 bit serial to
parallel. I think a previous poster mentioned that it
was ASCII output, serialized, and if that's the case,
all you would need to do is use something like a shift
register to "parallelize" it. If the key codes are
different, than an EPROM can be abused into converting
them for you.

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.
