Hi, I have a bare 128 keyboard that I have interfaced with a keyrah v2 to use with the X128 Winvice. After a little tweaking I have all the keys on the c128 functioning as they are intended to be on the real thing (crsr keys work as well as the two crsr key with shift working, number pad is proper, etc.). However, I'm stuck on a group of keys that refuse to be separately map-able. The help, line feed, 40/80 column and no scroll bank of keys seem to reply with the function keys definitions--or vice versa depending on the mapping. It's very frustrating. I've looked high and low for an example, a reason, a suggestion, etc. but I've come up empty. Does anyone have any experience with this? As a common thread, but a separate question; I remember purchasing a kit from Brian's retro store for a keyboard hookup but have yet to glue it all together. Would that work better, if you would know? I can't remember--is is USB or strictly PS2? Thanks for reading c

Somewhat related link that I started can be found here www.lemon64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=56346&highlight= . I think you are referring to a PS/2 keyboard adapter called the C=Key Keyboard interface (http://www.go4retro.com/products/ckey/). The code and schematic can be downloaded so it may be worth your time to take a look at it.

Thanks for the info. It was that C=Key, indeed. Once the classes are finished I might have some time to glue all the parts together--I might be able to find a ps/2 keyboard, as well. But until then, I plan on getting the keyrah v2 to work with all the keys on the c128 regardless if is kills me in the process lol. I can share the vice keyboard definition file that I wrote if you want it.
Cheers, c

It seems that in emulation mode the function keys send the same code to x128 as the upper left 8 keys of the C128 keyboard (F1->ESC, F2->TAB, etc and vice versa). (I'm using Keyrah V1). They probably mainly designed the device to use the userports and as a pc keyboard.

I've been frustrated with this for a while and ended up just moving on and using a normal pc keyboard with the emulators. I now use the keyrah with a c64c keyboard/case and nexys 4 ddr hardware for C65 emulation--Works perfectly fine that way.

By using a key scan utility I can confirm that the upper eight keys in emulation mode have been mapped to function keys F1 to F8.
