keyboard connected in an expansion cartridge

[nitrofurano]

One idea i have, for the electronic hackers, is about people helping
having a keyboard in an expansion cartridge (between a console and a
'educational' cartridge, in a zx-spectrum way), having the connections
for a keyboard membrane. The idea would be for 'recycling' these
existing famiclones.

I thaught about this because i'm seeing there are famiclones without
keyboard out there too ( like at ht tp :// www.youtube. com/watch?
v=s_lv74ACiPU ) , and would be great having keyboards there too. (a
bit like those family-computer ns-hubasic keyboards)

For diy people i started to share this 'pcb' of the membrane keyboard
which i think can help a bit: ht tp ://picasaweb.google. com/

lol! i think the gun in that video has a the huge gash because it's
actually from a mold from a toy that shoots little suction cup darts!
wow!

hey nitro, is that keyboard picture you made a pure picture, or is
that a picture made from a schematic/board layout?

@Noah, picture made by hand (with Gimp), which i think has the
connectors in the right place, for people may want to analise or print
somehow as diy membrane, or whatever
