My mystery box arrived today!
wow @ that genuine Parallax keyboard
Groovy keyboard, and neat that the PS2 adapter was included too. (ha.. pretty essential!! Phew!!)
I was curious about P2 keyboard drivers.. did anyone ever create something for PS2? Maybe PS2 was no longer "in vogue" by the time P2 came out
Found some P1 drivers on OBEX, like this: https://obex.parallax.com/obex/combo-ps2-keyboard-and-mouse-driver/ Shame we lost that simple interface for microcontrollers, replaced by the more overheady USB. Is progress always progress ?

Dave,
I will admit to being jealous of the keyboard. I used to have one. They're very compact and I am still using PS/2 keyboards for Z80 and 6502-based projects.
