Keyboard Conversion
Not sure what protocol your keyboard is? Come and ask in the Keyboard Institute Discord.
(Short explanation about convert, possibly including on difference between adapters and converters)
Common Protocols
(insert subheadings here for IBM XT, IBM AT and PS/2, older Macintosh protocols, ADB)
(maybe quick notes on cheap pre-made commerical converters here, or in the Pre-Made Converters section?)
Making A Converter
Pre-made converters for this protocol are invariably the vendor making something that follows these instructions with varying levels of quality. It's up to you if you want to buy someone's product or make it yourself; however, the end result will often be the same.
(notes about making a converter here)
(Warning about not mixing up the VCC and GND)
Finding the pinout
(Maybe making another page/guide for finding the right pinout?)
Example
(Maybe also make another page/guide where we make an XT converter as a live example)
Pre-Made Converters?????
(mainly adding this heading here because I don't know if we should mention pre-made converters at the top of the page or at the bottom of the page)
