While working on a hardware project I needed a keyboard converter that would
allow a standard pc keyboard to be hooked up to an Apple II or II+. I've
finished the hardware testing and can now hook a standard pc keyboard up to
a Apple II/II+ through the 16pin dip socket on the motherboard.

I know for most people this item is unnecessary but I just thought I would
post my results:

F1-F12 are disabled and do not funtion
Special keys (Delete, End, PageUp, PageDown, etc) do not funtion
Numeric keypad is disabled
standard keys a-z, 0-9, TAB, ESC, backspace all function.
Key repeat is automatic after short delay (same as on a standard pc)

Since there is no reset key on a pc keyboard I had to add a reset switch to
the circuitboard adapter.  The adapter is powered from the 16pin dip socket
so no external power source is required.  Looking for any feedback on this
project.

Thanks,

Vince
