Hi Folks,

I'm trying to find a 7 bit ASCII parallel keyboard to interface to my PT 3P+S board, which will allow me to build up a SOLOS Subsystem B on an S-100 system.

Does anyone know if the keyboards in these systems are ASCII compatible?

The relevant schematic portion of the keyboard module is at these two links:

The interface to the 3P+S is pictured below:

Thanks and appreciate your guidance!
 
Hi,
I remembered seeing a page about using such a KB with an Apple 1. I just located it and it may provide some insight.
