Original Design
This product was designed by 8BitFlux.com. By buying this product your support original hardware creators.

Evolutionary design of the legendary ASCII Keyboard Tester. It can now eavesdrop on the signals generated by a keyboard and transmitted to the vintage computer, without interfering its normal operation. Of course it still supports familiar standalone usage, so a (self-made) keyboard can be tested in isolation. All bits are annotated to ease conversion and understanding of hexadecimal and decimal number systems.

Use the DIP-swich to turn off the 8th bit or activate adapter mode. The latter is to use an Apple 2 keyboard with an Apple-1 computer. All keyboard connector pins are labeled to make it easy to connect ASCII keyboards that go with other computers, like the Sol-20 of Processor Technology.

Unsoldered kit comes with the pcb, all parts, schematics, bill of materials and manual. See the Documentation for details.
