I have  been attempting to restore the first computer I ever owned, an S100=

bus based NorthStar Horizon I built from a kit in the late 1970's. It has=20
been a challenge, largely due to old tantalum caps shorting and sometimes=20
catching fire and a nearly complete lack of documentation for the various=20
hacks I performed on it.

At this point I have the CPU card, serial ports, video card, a couple of=20
memory cards and an eprom card (including 2708 (!) EPROM burner) running.=20
Unfortunately it appears that my very nice parallel keyboard is dead. For=20
now, I am running PROCOMM on an old DOS PC to emulate a dumb terminal=20
connected to the old machine instead of the video display and keyboard.

I am looking for a converter to convert from a PS2 keyboard to a parallel=20
ascii output with strobe. Although I am sure I could cobble something up, I=
=20
am sure that I have seen a PIC-based implementation of this sort of thing=20
somewhere.

Any pointers?
