  1. Would it be possible to add PS/2 keyboard support to the same interface? That way you could house a clone board like a Harlequin in a desktop case and run an external keyboard and mouse to the board.

    • The ZX Spectrum keyboard is read out from the ROM quite nifty, but at the same time not easy to replace by something else, like an external interface.
      So no, the K-Mouse Turbo won’t be able to do that.

      I’ve produced a PS/2 keyboard interface which did the trick, but the microcontroller used on that, had the habit to lose it’s firmware from time to time.
      So I discontinued it.

      I am developing a true USB keyboard interface, of which you can find a prototype video on my YouTube channel.
