X68000 to USB keyboard protocol converter
=========================================
SHARP X68000 is a hobby computer released in Japan.(1987-93)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharp_X68000

X68000 keyboard has ALPS linear switches.
- DSETK0016CE01 green linear
- DSETK0022CE02 yellow linear
- DSETK0023CE03 yellow linear


Hardware
--------
Target MCU is ATMega32u4 but other USB capable AVR will also work.
You can use PJRC Teensy as development board.
http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/

Wiring:
Mini-DIN Teensy
-----------------------------------------------------
pin1 +5V VCC
pin2 MOUSE -
pin3 RXD PD2(RXD)
pin4 TXD PD3(TXD) NOTE: Not supported yet.
pin5 READY -
pin6 REMOTE -
pin7 GND GND


Firmware
--------
Build:
$ cd x68k_usb
$ make

And load the binary to MCU with your favorite programmer.
If you use Teensy you can load with PJRC Teensy Loader tool.
