IIe Keyboard On A II Plus

Bill Garber

It's here everyone. The encoder that lets you use your
spare Apple IIe keyboards on your Apple II and II Plus.

Everything is available on it. Shifted Keys, Escape Keys,
and Control keys. I didn't give the option of RESET only,
you'll have to use Control-RESET, which most of you do
already.

We're taking preorders at the site for $29 in order to get
an idea of the interest there will be before we decide whether
we can get boards with Silkscreening and Soldermask, or
have to get them plain. The more people who want them,
the better the boards will be. So, come to the GarberStreet
web site and have a look at it.

Thanks,

Now, if someone would only produce a PS/2 or USB to IIe adapter...

I'm looking at it now actually. Would you like it yesterday? <[8o|)

Does it require that magic "calibration" ;-)

Well, all I do is plug it in, fire it up, and away I go. <[8o|)

Will this work with the Replica-1?

Yes, sir, it absolutely does. Thanks to you, I just tried it,
and although I was sure it would, I did need to test it and
it works, yes.

If you do Google search, you will find couple posts here. PS/2 or USB
keyboard will not work on neither Apple //e or Apple II+ unless you build a
printed circuit. The printed circuit is used to have encoder translation.
The encoder translation picks up all keys from PS/2 or USB and they convert
to Apple II's keyboard.

I thought it would likely work too, but I was more concerned that it would
fit over both revisions of the Replica-1 without bumping into something.

I've been looking for a suitable case for my Replica's, with their expansion
cards... thought about scavenging ][/][+ cases, or using a clone case. I
haven't been willing to sacrifice the original gear or haven't found
something cheap and suitable online in the way of a clone.

But a //e case suits me fine. Thanks for making the adapter.

My Replica-1 is marked 2006, and I will be posting a page of pictures
to the web site shortly that shows the adapter plugged in and monitor
with stuff typed in. Don't mind what I actually typed, it's been a while
since I used this thing. <[8o|)
