Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi all!,

I was reading in the manual that i can connect a ps/2 keyboard to the picomite.
That is a thing i gona do, but is there a other way? like i seen a lot of i2c keyboards on tindie.

and i most say picomite is now one of my most favo computers to use!

Hi Zett, and welcome to the forum!  :)

PS/2 keyboard support is built in and is very easy to use. There are I2C keyboards around but you're on your own when it comes to using them. MMBasic supports I2C so you can connect them, but controlling and decoding them is down to you.
