From the project

Miscellaneous PCB projects

This is a breakout board for the A500/A500+ keyboard connector to allow access to the signals on it.

The keyboard connector has the following pinouts and signals:

1. KBCLOCK 2. KBDATA 3. _KBRESET 4. +5V 5. (KEY) 6. GND 7. STATUS (POWER LED) 8. INUSE (DRIVE LED)

The board provides a female header at the bottom of the board that sits on the keyboard connector on the motherboard, and provides two sets of corresponding header pins - one for the keyboard plug to connect to and the other for as per user requirements.
