So this appears to be a Battleship Clone.
I am trying to apply Soarers Converter to a Pro Micro Atmel MEGA32U4 / 16 Mhtz / 5v.
I have programmed the 32U4 with the following syntax using avrdude 5.1 and a Usbtiny avr programmer and a dedicated 5v/1a power supply for the M32U4:
avrdude -p m32u4 -c usbtiny -U flash:w:Soarer_at2usb_v1.12_atmega32u4_ProMicro_reset.hex

I cannot seem to get this keyboard to post any info. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

Wait a second... do I need to take the pinouts to a DIN5 then PS/2 adapter then to the 32U4?

Since a DIN5-to-PS/2 adapter is only a electrical pass through and doesn't contain any logic it would only change the pins you need to use from the respective connector. Maybe your keyboard doesn't speak a protocol Soarers Converter understands?

Connector: Yeah thought as much. My thinking was the adapter would allow the system to hot plug properly.
Protocol: Well, does anyone have a HP C1401A #ABA(keycaps, design, overall look is very similar.)? If it works with any converter, please let me know. Not ready to give up on this just yet.

Are you treating that as PS/2? At that date I would expect HIL.

I may have flashed the incorrect file. Let me check when I get home thanks.

HIL devices have other connectors and use 12V and can be daisy-chained in ADB fashion. So a HIL keyboard would have two HIL ports: One in, one out. And the C1410A is 5V according to the sticker on it.

But of course that is no reason not to check if the keyboard is using the HIL protocol.
