Keyman64 - sort of reproduction

 

The Keyman64 is a nice little device to control certain functions of a C64 and/or to change the keyboard layout as well as adding macros to your function keys. In the past, I have ordered complete assembly kits but due to a period of absence of the creator of this device, I decided to order PCBs and the required parts by myself. As with many things, I sort of lost focus on this topic due to a lack of usage but now it is about time to revitalize this work. During this process I've learned that my programmer, the TL866, was rendered useless by the original software. Now I have to bring it back to life, an unexpected side path of this project :)

Here are two links to videos where I have used the Keyman64Ö
