[Coco] Keyboard adapters

[Brian Blake]

Stephen,

Do you know if the keyboard is the micro-switch or membrane type? I'm
guessing micro-switch since most of the XT keyboards were, but, you never
know with Tandy...

If the interface IS part of the motherboard, and the keys are
micro-switches, this project may be possible.


Thanks,

Brian
