One of my hardest CoCo projects was a rewire of an old PC keyboard, 
the kind with real switches.  The traces on the board underneath the 
keys had to first be cut in many places with an Exacto knife to 
remove connections between keys that are not on the same row or 
column with the CoCo PIA.  Then I had to jumper a lot of thin wires 
between certain keys to make the CoCo grid.

This project was hard work but the end result was an external 
keyboard for my repacked CoCo 3.
