Re: Plus/4 keyboard

We have some hardware experts on the forum who are partying at AROK right now. So you should wait for them to drop by.

I'm a bit more optimistic then SVS

If I recall correctly plus/4 and C16 have (despite the different connector) a "technically" similar keyboard.
Furthermore, I assume that C16 and C64 (not C 128) have a similar keyboard connector (I have seen C64s equipped with C16 keyboards and also KEYRAH seems to have the same connector for C16 and C64 keyboards).
So I think this is possible. A problem could be cable length and I'm not sure if the RESTORE key on C64 needs some special wiring.

Plus/4 keyboard

I really love the look and feel of the Plus/4 keyboard and case. If I were to buy a dead Plus/4, do you think it'd be reasonably possible to adapt the keyboard connector so I could run a cable from the Plus/4 to the keyboard socket of a different Commodore computer, say the 128 or 64? I realize each computer has different keys, but could the shared keyset be utilized?
