Dayna Keyboard Attachment

[aplmak]

An attachment to allow extra keys on a 512, Plus, Lisa... Pretty neat.. another piece from Marion Stokes collection

 

[Blinkenlightz]

Nice!! That's from a MacCharlie!

Well, not the Plus or Lisa. The 128,512k. The other has bigger keyboards with keypads already. Pretty cool though!

 

[aplmak]

Yes right now this is with a Mac Charlie on a 512K in an actual Mac Charlie bag!

 

[unity]

Very cool! I wanna get one.

 

[aplmak]

Well I think Hap (Henry) and I will put this up for sale at some point... We will reach out when we do that..

Out of curiosity, do the embedded cursor functions in the numeric keypad actually work as cursor keys for Mac programs, or does it only behave that way for the MacCharle?

(For that matter, do the function keys do anything on the Mac side? It seems to me a long shot that they'd match up with the Mac Extended Keyboard's function keys.)

 

[Trash80toHP_Mini]

I was wondering if it has a full PC KBD Cable attachment or if it hooks up to that poor overloaded serial port video connection?

That lashup has to be the very coolest of tidbits of the MacCharlie hack.

From the MacCharlie manual:

"The function keys and the numeric keypad are operable any time they are called for by an IBM PC application program running on MacCharlie. These keypads enable several specific functions used by IBM PC software. When the Macintosh is running and MacCharlie is idle, the function keys are inactive, and the numeric keypad is identical to the optional numeric keypad available for the Macintosh. See Macintosh for a detailed description of the numeric keypad.

With the Macintosh keyboard placed in the keyboard extension, the combination becomes a functional duplicate of the IBM PC keyboard."
