1. Item description:
Experimental USB-to-5DIN Adapter for Keyboard
.
This adapter allow you to connect a modern USB keyboard to a retro PC with a 5DIN AT interface. The adapter are prototypes, assembled on a circuit board based on Teensy microcontroller. Since this are prototype, there may be small errors in the operation, which may be eliminated by updating the firmware via the attached wire. The Numlock indicator is out of sync and may not display the keyboard status correctly. Also, the adapter are sold as-is without warranty or refund.
The kit includes a cable for connecting the adapter to the computer port "PS/2".
The adapter can be used with PC/AT (286 and newer) computers and PC/XT (8088/8086) computers. To do this, you will need to program the adapter with AT or XT firmware. By default, the firmware for AT computers is installed.
Important notes:
To get the XT firmware, write me a message and I will send you a link to download the firmware with instructions.
It is not recommended to connect the adapter to a working computer.
Connecting and disconnecting the keyboard and adapter can only be done after turning off the computer in advance.
The adapter has been tested with a number of old computers and there were no problems with most of them. In rare cases, it may appear that the keyboard is not detected, but the keyboard will work. In very rare cases, complete hardware incompatibility is possible.
Bluetooth wireless keyboards are temporarily not supported, but support may be added later in the new firmware version.
Simultaneous pressing of three or more keys on the keyboard is not supported.
Also, if you have any problems with the adapter, you can write to me for possible troubleshooting and updating the firmware.
