Your envelope arrived on friday, and I had some time today to Soarer-mod my other Cherry G80-3k:

For anybody else tuning in, I used the USB cable's colors: if you have the keyboard on your lap, the original connector uses black | green | white | red | black (why it has black twice is beyond my understanding - they're connected).

On the Teensy side, my Cherry falling back to PS/2 mode has white as data -> PD0, green as clock -> PD1. Black and red connect to ground and Vcc as usual.


Thanks again for your excellent service!

s(why it has black twice is beyond my understanding - they're connected).

One is the ground, the other is the shield of the cable (the metal braiding around the wires), and they are connected so the shield can shield!

[Muirium]

Correct. Tie those together! (Actually, what I do with my external boxed Soarer converter is keep the shielding chain connected all the way from the host's USB cable to the keyboard's AT/XT/terminal lead, using the metal box itself as a conductor. That way, grounding works from end to end, as it should.)

Glad to see these Teensies getting straight into use. I've a few crafty ideas for my own as well, but haven't even gotten started yet.
