Drop-in Keyboard Driver

CassLan

Hi All,

While at the expo I picked up one of those mini keyboards from Bean:

I have already hooked it up and gotten good text from it on screen with TV_Text and a CASE statement to convert the serial codes to ASCII compatible (Thanks Mike Cook).

I'd ideally like to be using this KB with propDOS and with other software designed for the prop.

SO I'd like a drop-in replacement for the PS2 KB driver, this would in effect let me use it anywhere anytime with just a re-compile.

Before I start trying to cobble this together has anyone already done this.. or started to do this?

I have checked the OBEX and done some searches and have not found any evidence of this idea..which I find surprising.

Thanks,

Rick

Check this thread...

I did some work on a nearly drop-in replacement using code that was posted
from several other members here.
