IBM Terminal Keyboard converter

Yet Another converter for IBM Terminal Keyboard(PS/2 Scan Code Set 3)




Keyboard converter for IBM terminal keyboard
============================================                                                                                                                                                         
It supports PS/2 Scan Code Set 3 and runs on USB AVR chips such like PRJC Teensy.
I tested the converter on ATMega32U4 with 1392595(102keys) and 6110345(122keys).

If I may ask, what makes it different and/or better than the Soarer converter?

hmm, availability of source code? In theory, you can fix problem yourself and add anything you want without bothering Soarer. In fact  there is no reason for using mine if you are happy with Soarer's converter.

Just picked up this exact keyboard for $15
Looking forward to converting it and getting it working.
