Well one big difference between C64 keyboards and PET keyboards is that where the C64 is directly connected to the matrix, the PET goes through a 4-to-10 selector to select the rows. See http://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/schematics/computers/pet/2001N/320349-3.gif for this in one of the board versions. For CBM2, looking at http://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/schematics/computers/b/4256041-09of15.gif it uses apparently 3 ports, 2 for column select and 1 for row read. I see extra diodes on the column select, so I presume that is to prevent connecting those port bits to each other through multiple key presses. -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- There's no point being grown-up if you \X/ rhialto/at/xs4all.nl -- can't be childish sometimes. -The 4th Doctor Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2012-11-24 11:00:15
