PC98 to USB keyboard protocol converter
=======================================
Target MCU is ATMega32u2 but other USB capable AVR will also work.


Connector
---------
On host/converter:

    8Pin mini DIN
       ___ ___
      /  |_|  \
     / 8  7  6 \
    | 5    4  3 |
     \_ 2   1 _/
       \_____/
     (receptacle)


Wiring: You can change this with editing config.h.

    Pin mini DIN        MCU
    ----------------------------------
    1  ~RST(TXD)        PD3
    2   GND             GND
    3  ~RDY             PD4
    4   RXD             PD2
    5  ~RTY             PD1
    6   NC
    7   NC
    8   5V              VCC




Protocol
--------
Signal: Asynchronous, Positive logic, 19200baud, Least bit first
Frame format: 1-Start bit(Lo), 8-Data bits, Odd-Parity, 1-Stop bit



Prebilt Firmware
----------------
Prebuilt firmware HEX files are available under 'binary' directory.



Build Firmware
--------------
Just use 'make' to bild firmware for TMK PC98 converter(ATMega32u2).

    $ make clean
    $ make

To flash firmware run this command

    $ make dfu

then push button on converter to flash firmware.

If you are using ATMega32u4 based board use following commands to get firmware HEX file.

    $ make -f Makefile.32u4 clean
    $ make -f Makefile.32u4

And flash it on your board using specific program method.

Raku Raku keyboard support
--------------------------
NEC PC-9801-98-S02 - raku raku keyboard:
https://deskthority.net/photos-f62/nec-pc-9801-98-s02-t5212.html

To build firmware for the keyboard

    $ make KEYMAP=rakuraku clean
    $ make KEYMAP=rakuraku
    $ make KEYMAP=rakuraku dfu

Its scan code map is very different from standard types. This is not tested.

NOTES
-----
### Tested on
- PC-9801V
- DIGITAL WAVE Dboard


### RDY
PC98 host keeps RDY line high to prevent keyboard from sending data while processing.

https://archive.org/stream/PC9800TechnicalDataBookHARDWARE1993/PC-9800TechnicalDataBook_HARDWARE1993#page/n359

PC-9801V keyboard requires RDY pulse as acknowledgement from host, it doesn't next data without this. Dboard doens't need this.


### Inhibit key repeating
The command(9Ch, 70h) works with Raku Raku keybaord but not with Dboard.

### LED indicater
Dboard has LEDs but replys with FA to 9D command but ignore it. The LED indicates just its internal states. Dboard replays with FA to 9C command but it doesn't seem to understand repeat setting.

PC-9801V has no LEDs and doesn't accept LED command. It replys with 9D to 9D command. PC-9801V doesn't accept repeat setting command. It replys with 9C to 9C command.


## PC-9801V
Note that you have to connect this keyboard with converter before plug in USB port. It seems this keyboard requires for host to send any command before starting to send scan code.
