Something like this: Small board fitted on top AY chip plus 8 wires connected to mainboard. It is Gerald project from this topic Is there any recent project to connect a PC (PS/2) keyboard to the CPC? (http://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/amstrad-cpc-hardware/is-there-any-recent-project-to-connect-a-pc-%28ps2%29-keyboard-to-the-cpc/) On pictures is first board with few mistakes , i order second one, (no kynar links and i move pins for easier and shorter cable connection).

Only English UK to English UK conversion is available in the released code.
I have US to UK and FR to FR available.
Other keymaps need to be created ... and validated ;)

how can I create and validate the keymap for a spanish keyboard?
if you need help i mean
I want 2 more for me, please. Thanks.
One left? I'd like one!
I'd suggest going over single orders first instead of fulfilling multiple unit requests for the first batch... But maybe that's just me.

Ideally I would need a spanish keyboard so I could test the mapping myself.

Do you know that all the signals you need are available on the PPI ? That's also why my original board takes place on (or under) the PPI ;)

Do you know if this ps2 adapter introduce some kind of "noise" or interferences on the cpc bus ay related, ppi related or original joystick / keyboard related?
Perhaps is better to put it on the PPI than on the AY?
PCB arrived,

Sorry to necro post, but I'm really needing one of these adapters so that I can have my 464 routed through a PS2 kvm - I have around a dozen computers and only space for 1-2 keyboards, so where possible I'm trying to stack them on shelves, and redirect the keyboard to one that is shared amongst them all. The 464 and the Spectrum +3 (which appears to be technically impossible due to the Amstrad gate array) are the final ones that I'm needing a solution for.
Did anyone purchase one of these boards from piotr/zaxon and never get around to installing it? He's confirmed that there are no more being produced unfortunately :(
Does it still allow to press many keys at the same time ?
