I disassembled the RC2030 to get at the motherboard and spent some time probing. This is a multi-layer board, quite thick, so tracing things down has proven difficult. Two of the three extra pins on the DIN connector for the keyboard are connected to a 74LS240, one as an input, one as an outp

I am considering getting a multi-vendor marketplace setup. Right now I am looking for interested people who want to sell a few (or a lot) of vintage computer items and peripherals, like keyboards. The focus would be on vintage, although if you have some current things, those would be allowed too. I
