+# Amiga 1200 Keyboard Converter
+
+Modification of the Model-M 101 membrane adapter (converter/modelm101) to work with Amiga 1200 keyboard (and possibly Amiga 500/600 too). It would be very convenient to manufacture a small PCB adapter to make easier the task of connecting the keyboard membrane and the Teensy 2.0++ board.
+
+This adapter is meant to allow using the original Amiga keyboard as a USB input device, either with a desktop PC or a R-Pi/FPGA board hosted inside the Amiga case.
+
+Files have been modified in accordance to fit Amiga keyboard layout and features. A second layer has been implemented (momentary toggle "Help" key) to access unexistent keys (like F11 and F12). This is a work in progress.
+
+
+Pins of the Teensy board you should use by default:
+```
+Columns: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
+Pins: D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 E0 E1 C0 C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7
+--------------------------------------------------------
+Rows: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
+Pins: F0 F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7
+--------------------------------------------------------
+Status LEDs: CapsLock +5V
+Pins: B6 5V
+```
+
+Please note that some versions of Model M have LED connected with a ribbon cable, and not with separate wires.

+* Keyboard Maintainer: [8bits4ever](https://github.com/8bits4ever)
+* Hardware Supported: Teensy 2.0++ board by PJRC
+* Hardware Availability: https://www.pjrc.com/store/teensypp.html
+
+For first time flashing use the reset button on the Teensy board enter in bootloader mode. Once the board is flashed you can use "HELP"+"R" on the Amiga keyboard for the same purpose.
+
+Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
+
+ make converter/a1200:default
