- masto 3y agoAnd if you have an obscure Canadian TV computer from 1982 and want to use a USB keyboard with it, check out my https://youtu.be/93LBVhSx8cs?si=bC8OW3SpWIIlsgNN https://youtu.be/93LBVhSx8cs?si=bC8OW3SpWIIlsgNN (I should really get around to taking that project beyond the prototype stage) Seems like keyboard adapters are a popular thing around here.
- ecliptik 3y agoI have a 512ke and no keyboard, keep looking for ways to use a "modern" board on it instead if paying a good $ on Ebay for one. This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you.
- floren 3y agoOr if you have a Mac of that vintage and want to use its mouse on your modern PC, you can use my adapter: https://jfloren.net/b/2022/7/8/0 https://jfloren.net/b/2022/7/8/0 (I recommend against doing this except as a party trick, because these old mice were never intended to be used on a high-resolution screen)
- endemic 3y agoWhat I would love is to be able to use modern laser mice with vintage PCs -- I have a Mac Plus which is a nightmare to use because those old ball mice are flippin' terrible.
- floren 3y agoI think you could fake the quadrature signals pretty easily. When I designed my laser mouse, I initially wanted to be able to reprogram the microcontroller to output USB, PS/2, quadrature, etc. but that got dropped so as to just get it out the door... but I think a USB->quadrature adapter would be pretty doable.
- nivenhuh 3y agoThank you for this! I am just about to fix the PSU on my Mac Plus 1MB and this might come in handy.
