Re: C64/VIC20 keyboard adapter
"I tend to use mine when i am fixing C64's but there is no reason why it cannot be a permanent replacement!"
So does it work with Games that scan the Keys in a non standard way? (eg Bruce Lee, but there are more)

I'm just a Software Guy who has no Idea how the Hardware works. Don't listen to me.

Re: C64/VIC20 keyboard adapter
The MT8808 is a matrix array that emulates the keyboard precisely ( it connects rows to columns in exactly the same way a c64 keyboard would ) and should work absolutely fine . Using this method all the target computer sees is a matrix keyboard!!
Re: C64/VIC20 keyboard adapter
Ah! Good Just curious - does this reproduce Matrix shortcuts correctly too? eg can it connect one pin of port A to another pin of port A?
