$58.00
Up for sale is a brand new Keyrah V2 interface. This item has never been used, and is located in the USA for quick shipping. Below are the particulars.Keyrah V2 is the revised version of the very popular Keyrah Interface. KeyrahV2 allows you to connect the keyboards of classic computer systems like the Commodore64 or the Amiga1200 to modern computers (e.g. PC, Mac, or the Raspberry PI) via USB. It also supports digital joysticks of such classic systems, translating the joystick events to key strokes. The list of the supported classic systems has almost remained the same:- Commodore 64 (all models)
- Commodore VIC-20
- Commodore 128*
- Commodore 128D*
- Commodore 16
- Commodore 116**
- Commodore Plus/4**
- Amiga 1200
- Amiga 600
** There are also no connectors for the Plus/4 and C-116, those can also be fitted (PCB modification and soldering required).Unlike the old Keyrah interface that required you to choose between the different supported computer families, KeyrahV2 comes in a single version that works with all systems. It also supports both German and English keyboard layouts, so this distinction is also history. KeyrahV2 provides a jumper that lets you choose the desired configuration, you can either set it to 8-Bit with German keymap, 8-Bit with US keymap, or Amiga.
KeyrahV2\'s new switch still allows you to switch between the standard and the emulation keymap (just like the old Keyrah did), and it still looks like the original power switch when built into a Commodore 64. Now there\'s a third switch position that allows you to send an ACPI signal to shut down/power up your computer. To avoid triggering the shutdown procedure by accident, this third position is not locked, so the switch will always flip back from it if not held in place. (The ACPI signal is only sent after remaining one second in this position.)
***An internal USB connector is not present but can be fitted, which also requires soldering. Please note that Keyrah is a pure USB device, it will not work with USB-to-PS/2 adapters.
