Nice Item for C64/128

Jim Brain appears to have a new toy out for Vic20/C64/C128 as well

keyboard adapter that can make use of a USB keyboard on those machines...or...alternatively you can get one to use their keyboards on a PC....

oh, and can be configured to support 2 CBM/Atari style joysticks on pc as well

Thanks for that bit of info SaviorX i'm going to need one of those for my
128DCR it will make using the 128D a lot easier as far as it looks like
a great space saver..(y)

I actually just got a little device that lets you hook up you commodore c64 keyboard/empty breadcase to a usb port and also 2 d-connector joysticks. I got it from AmigaKit and have installed and love it for my emulators.

i actually misread Jim Brains device, its for PS/2 keyboards not USB

however..its slightly different from the keyrah....you can get it to support either way or both ways (ie ps/2 keyboard on C= computer and/or C= keyboard to PS/2 port on PC)

read the disclaimer info also, looks like these may be available for a limited time, as the next batch will apparently be USB

its also slightly cheaper ($21) if you just want to use a C= keyboard on PC (which is great if you are using VICE (and even better if you actually want to do a little C= programming on VICE as well))

And it does not have USB support yet I want to replace my 128DCR
keyboard with this I have a nice IBM clicky klak keyboard I would use.
