[E3-hacking] Anyone know the Pinout of the Amstrad E3 Videophone Mailboard

[Nick Griffin]

Just connected the Mailboard to a PS/2 adapter and its works on Windows but the keys are wrong so how would I go about changing each key to the right one..?

Anyone know..?

Had a idea, couldn’t you use a arduino nano to made a converter for it so it works like a PC keyboard and put the key codes or its key map on the arduino nano so when you press “P” on the Mailboard “P” is on the screen…is pressed and so on .?

Huh, it is actually PS/2. I didn't know that.
