Aha! It's exactly the same pin numbering as the Archimedes keyboard. I
have some A3000s with destroyed keyboards, and I'm fairly sure I've
got a tatty external keyboard that's had its cable cut off that I
rescued from a skip, so I might have a play with those.

Something similar but more BBC-related is the fact that I'd be really
interested in a PS/2 or USB keyboard adapter for the BBC Master, so I
could build my spare motherboard into a desktop case. One that works
the other way round could be useful for building Mini ITX motherboards
into the cases of dead Beebs. Rather like the C=Key:
