From the project

Board Folk Retro Keyboards and Adapters

This is repository for retro keyboards and adapters that have been used for projects over the past few years originally intended for private use helping with other projects.

As people have been asking it was thought it'd be worthwhile putting them somewhere in case they're of use to anyone else. Many have just been prototypes and not many have been finished, but I'll add them as I go. 'More Fun Making It' Lee showed the finished Acorn Electron PS/2 interface in one of his videos about Mogwaay's Electron ULA replacement work, so I'm starting there.
