Re: Documentation on the Lisa Keyboard and Mouse protocols

Also, Alexander Kurz started a project to adapt many types of keyboards:

http://www.kbdbabel.org/

He has a working prototype of the adapter such that a PS/2 keyboard can be used
with a Lisa. I was trying to encourage him to alter the code and the board to make
it work in either direction such that a Lisa keyboard could be used with a newer
computer, but he either dropped it or hasn't gotten around to it yet.

His board might be a good starting point. It uses an 8051 type microprocessor
which is more than capable of doing this type of protocol translation. Not as
hip as an arduino, but workable. If you wanted to add USB, you might be better
off with someone that already has USB built in.
