[Coco] USB keyboard interface for CoCo

[Tim Fadden]

I don't know about the Eagle, but the one I have is a Puppo (sp) 
keyboard interface, and it only works with XT keyboards.

For whatever it's worth.

The adapter has a much shorter barrel and doesn't go far before the rubber casing hits the jack. I may be able to peel the rubber back some and get it to work.
