SORD社のコンピューターM68やM68MXの解析についての備忘録です。This blog is a memorandum about the analysis of SORD's computers M68 and M68MX.

Analysis of SORD M343SX-III keyboard (part4)

Hoping that the keyboard would work, I did some research and found out that the last unknown pin was -12V. Since it is the RS232C protocol, it naturally requires -12V.

So, all the pin-outs were clear and ready to communicate with the keyboard. However, making the -12V is a pain. I ended up connecting the RxD and TxD of the HD6303 to a USB serial to see if I could receive data from the keyboard.

I set the communication speed to 38400 Baud (stop-bits and parity are still unknown). I know that the data to be sent is scancode, so I can make it work.
