[Coco] MCX-128 PCBs have arrived

[Mark Marlette]

Cause it is easier and cheaper.
Once you dive in to USB.... you will see, depending on what level your library support is geared for.
I already have done the USB keyboard for the CoCo as my front end just requires that the driver be replaced.
Not sure I will bring it to market or not. More parts, higher cost point.

I know there are some things like this out there.  
USB is probably the way to go rather than PS/2, not sure why I even mentioned PS/2.  :)
