Okay, so does your response mean that there are no boards available? I looked at the propeller board, but it seemed like I would have to learn propeller programming, whereas any tweaks on the PC Keyboard converter would be Z80, which I am already a master of.
I never gave a thought to using Arduino, but I’ll see what turns up. All I need is to plug any AT keyboard (and I have lots lying around) into a box, and get parallel ASCII out. Thanks for the tip.

The Propeller board does a better job with a PC/AT Keyboard. Also the MSDOS support board has keyboard input. There are also lots of boards to adapt a PC/AT keyboard to a parallel output sold for the Arduino market. Searching Ebay for arduino and keyboard will turn up lots in the $4-5 range. I don't know how good they are, but it's worth a try. - Gary On Thursday, November 6, 2014 6:20:23 AM UTC-5, lynchaj wrote: ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Bob Bell <[email protected] <javascript:> > To: [email protected] <javascript:> Sent: Wednesday, November 5, 2014 9:27 PM Subject: S-100 PC Keyboard Converter Board Any news of when there might be some more of these bare boards available in the future? I have been hoping to find one as soon as possible, as my 35 year old parallel keyboard is beginning to have problems. Thanks.
