John Strong of StrongWare was nice enough to custom make me a few edge connector boards that will go in to the CoCo motherboard keyboard connector. I am going to be using these to experiment, adding some form of header to the board so I can get it hooked up to the Arduino or Teensy. I am hoping to clean off my desk enough to pull the CoCo out for the first time in years. I look forward to it.
