Re: 9100 Keyboard codes

http://www.l3sys.com/keyat/ky_feat.html $99 let's keep looking

http://www.beyondlogic.org/keyboard/keybrd.htm DIY 68HC705 project, I think
it would just require remapping some of the ASCII codes. I believe source
is there too. Uses a AT keyboard.
Also links to a 68HC11 version.

http://www.electronic-engineering.ch/microchip/projects/projects.html DIY
Pic Microcontroller version. I don't think he supported all the Function
keys but I imagine he would be helpful if asked.

Unfortunately I haven't had time to play with any of these but I think the 2
DIY projects are the solution we are looking for & relatively cheap.

As for the Reset issue, I don't know. Didn't you have a fake out for that
John?
