zenith z150 converter
« on: Tue, 22 May 2018, 16:12:06 »
I recently bought a zenith z150 off of ebay. I had to do some... repairs, but now all I have to do is figure out how to convert it from xt to usb. I have a soarer's converter that I use for my other keyboards, but for some reason it doesn't work with the z150. Is there a converter that would work, or a way to make the soarer's work?
My keyboard 'collection': Terrible logitech MK520 wireless rubber dome board (first keyboard I used extensively, unfortunately), a pretty bad navy blue dell l100 with binding issues (I learned how to type on one of the black lubricated ones), an IBM model F I restored that is now my daily driver along with my laptop keyboard, and a very destroyed zenith z-150 with the black badge and alps green.

This is not mature yet but it may work. It would be appriciated if you can post feedback in its thread.

I'd prefer something more off the shelf to be honest, but I'll pick up a teensy and give it a try.
