All:
I'm playing around with VICE, the Commodore emulator and I
wondered how others who use it deal with key remapping. Sometimes I find it
hard locating the mapped keys because I look at the keycap and of course,
the key is wrong (like TAB is CTRL, ESC is RUN/STOP, etc.)
I'm looking for suggestions beyond sticking little labels on my
keyboard :-)
Thanks.

You make it. :)
If you'd prefer a USB solution over a PS/2 one, see here:

If you're less of a make it and more of a buy it kind of person, consider this:

Hope that helps.

Well, the schems are there, and the code is at
www.jbrain.com/brain/c=key, as I recall. No finished boards available
yet...

Yep, saw the DIY package. I was looking for the boards already done.
This is not a front burner project for me just yet (other things in the
hopper right now), so I'll keep an eye out. Any idea of timing for boards?

I'd like to make a run before the end of the year, but as with all
"non-primary" things, timelines are subject to extreme slippage.

My suggestion is to print out and keep on hand the graphic found on this page:
