[Coco] [Color Computer] Re: CoCo keyboard

[James the Animal Tamer]

I remember an article a while back about using a PC keyboard with the 
Commodore 64.  Basically, the article had you throw out the 
keyboard's intelligence, scratch through all the traces on the PC 
keyboard, make new traces, and wire it up to the C64's ribbon cable.

That approach would work with other computers too, eh?
