keyboard

Hi all,

Now its time to talk about the keyboard, I did a little search in all my city's shop waste to find an used piece, and after a long time I found one, it belongued to a POS(Point Of Sale) it is from Itautec model PDV 54 keys and i payed only $5 bucks.
It will be enough for my project as I am thinking to make monitor's program to help in programming the z80.


At the right side you can see the part that will be used to input program z80's memories.
The keys 0 .. F (hexadecimal ) input







The keyboard's schematic.



I did some modifications to the printed board to facilitate the key reading, and in the end it is like the schematic above.
