I've been thinking a bit about this, too. If anyone can tell me how the
PC keyboard sends the keypresses, it probably wouldn't be too hard. I
know the basics of how the 64 keyboard works, and although I'd have to
run a few tests, I don't think it would be too difficult to build
something. (I'm like to think I'm handy with a soldering iron, so you
never know :)
