19.05 mm is 3/4 inch. 4.7625 mm is 3/16 inch. Easier when you use the US customary units.

I thought I'd share some tips for designing keyboard PCBs:
- The standard spacing between Cherry MX keyswitches is 19.05mm. You can achieve the "staggered" layout seen on most keyboards by using a 4.7625mm grid (1/4 of 19.05mm). In KiCad, the "Edit Grids..." option in the grid selection menu can be used to define custom grids.

I just read your post (above) from a year ago, and it said you were aware of someone who was attempting to integrate the min-ez-50 into a TurboDOS network. Is there a way you can connect me to that person?

Hi, you mentioned in a recent video that 14.000MHz crystals are hard to find nowadays.
I have some good news; LCSC sells them in lots of 5 for US$0.26.
