There is a text file named keyb64e.txt which is what you need. It is completely hardware solution and easier than an active interface. I have two keyboards connected to my C64 Tower. One is this hack, and the other is AT-keyboard. They have both their advantages. In this hack, I used my C64's case with its keyboard as a new keyboard. I cut and reshaped the plastic C64 case with a saw and hacksaw. Now it looks like C128D keyboard. By the way, you can plug a C128D keyboard to your C64 Tower if you make use of this keyb64e.txt modification. > software patch, that way the keyboard can be used for everything, not > just stuff where the interrupts haven't been changed, etc. > It's better to use another OS with the Tower 64 I think.
