Installation
The following is a step by step instruction guide on how to install your new PS/2 Keyboard
Interface
board into your system. Before you start, make sure that you have the AC power
plug removed from the wall. If a multi-pack is present, make sure that the power is removed
before removing it from the CoCo’s cartridge port. Make sure that you have a static free area
when performing this installation.
Required Tools
1. Phillips screwdriver
2. 1/4” nut driver
Kit Inventory List
1. Qty 1, PS/2 Keyboard Interface Assembly
2. Qty 1 each of ¼” bolt, nut and plastic spacer
3. Qty 1, Ribbon cable
4. Qty 1, 16 x 1 header pin
5. Qty 1, Optional Pass Through Connector
The interface will be mounted underneath the keyboard, refer to figure 1.. The case slots will
be used so no drilling is required. If a different method is used it will be the end user’s
responsibility to find an alternate method of securing the adapter to the CoCo’s case. The
ribbon cable will then connect the keyboard adapter to the motherboard via the CoCo's mylar
keyboard connector. If you would like to use both keyboards, then you must procure the ‘Pass
Through Connector’ adapter from Cloud-9.
