<h2>Origins</h2>
|
||
|
|
<hr>
|
||
|
|
<p>Way back in 2010, a Teensy landed on my doormat.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>My goal then was simply "<a href="http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?10629-What-did-you-get-in-the-mail-today&p=247450&viewfull=1#post247450">to make a USB adapter for my AT model F</a>".</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Why? I had modified the keyboard, and existing PS/2 to USB adapters didn't support the unusual codes created by the extra key positions.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A few months later, the first release was made available on geekhack, in my <a href="http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=17458.0">project thread</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>On the release of v1.0, I also made it available <a href="http://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/xt-at-ps2-terminal-to-usb-converter-with-nkro-t2510.html">on Deskthority</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>I guess I got a little carried away :-)</p>
