New post [Gallery] Representing IBM at a meetup
Thanks a lot for your elaborate answer! This is enough info to build an usb converter, I'll add that one to the projects list then :) I suppose I could also hook up a ps2 keyboard to my l40sx with a passive adapter. Not that that gets you much, but anyway...

New post [Keyboards] How to use Hasu's PS2 TMK on PS/2 with a pro micro?
I'm thinking you can use an inductor to prevent the bootup power surge from tripping the boot process on the pro micro.
I need to convert an IBM 5576 Keyboard with these pro micros for the IBM protocol, so it seems like there is no V1 variant in any of this.
