A while ago, YouTube started recommending some ASMR videos of leatherwork being done.

Like many people, I had seen wild crazy looking mechanical keyboards, and had been both fascinated and confused by them.

A couple of years ago I saw that somebody on the internet had made a Slow Movie Player, and that piqued my interest.

During the 2021 lockdown I started a laser cutting project I’d wanted to do for a while.

This is one of those little projects that didn’t need to be done, or could have been done very simply.

Ok, firstly, apologies for the lateness of this post.

After a visual check of the keyboards (see this post), I had a couple of questions, which were do the keyboards work?

Next up on the things to investigate is the 4 keyboards Judging by the connectors, it was obvious that these aren’t modern (PS2, USB or even 5 pin DIN) keyboards.

I decided the easiest thing to tackle first would be the three ICE (In-Circuit Emulators) as they’re quite bulky things to get out of the way early.

So, once again Retro Challenge is upon us, and, yes, the timing is offset , but an April challenge should mean that more people are able to participate.
