PlayKeyboardTW:
Hello Geekhack.  ;D

I am helping my friend, who is also the author and the maker of this keyboard set, posting this IC thread.

This keyboard is inspired by an old IBM keyboard called "PCjr".


The name CA66 came from French, "66 avec de la corniche". A 66 keyboard with cornice.

Case design: Yock
PCB design: Bobnaive
