Do you think I can read this thing with my pal-1?  It odder an "active keypress" indikator and translates the keystrokes into a parallel signal.
 On Hans website there is some example code on how to read ASCII Keyboards. It should work. What do you think?

It is not that simple. The thing works, but it is not converting the key pressed to a normal ASCII code, but just passes the scan code to the parallel port. 
So you need to decode that. There are examples of converting PS/2 to ASCII available.
