[Coco] Coco keyboard for PC

[Salvador Garcia]

I recall that Chris Hawks demoed a CoCo emulator running on a Raspberry Pi and he used a CoCo keyboard connected to the R-Pi through USB, but he needed to design a special microcontroller interface for that. He featured his R-Pi CoCo in an issue of the Glenside Color Computer Club newsletter. Personally, I found it fascinating, but never had a chance to delve into it more. Salvador

I have seen the ps2 to coco back in the day.   Reversible may be possible but to usb especially with keyboard mapping might be more of a challenge

Sounds like a good idea, but, I expect that CoCo keyboard to USB 
interface will be challenging.
Expect a small market for them once you figure it out.
