Title: Hello form Markham - USB for Model M suggestions?
Post by: ericball on Fri, 07 March 2014, 09:31:02

Greetings all!

My project is to convert a 1394540 (missing the SDL cable) to USB.  I'd like to keep the total project cost as low as possible.  A Teensy++ 2.0 could do the job, but I'm concerned that hooking it up to the matrix & LEDs would drive the cost beyond a new Unicomp.  Or has someone made a PCB which can be swapped in for the 6805?

Last I knew you could just buy a SDL to USB cable
