Adding PS/2 keyboard to your Commodore 64 DTV
Hacking the Commodore 64 DTV isn’t a new thing and neither is adding a PS/2 keyboard to it.
Never the less, that’s exactly what I have been doing for the past few days.
A job that was scheduled only to take a few hours.
As you might have guess it hasn’t been without problems.
To be short, very short:
The PS/2 keyboard doesn’t work if you were booting to Basic via the Easter egg. It only works if you hold LEFT CTRL down upon turning on your device. This will btw. boot directly into Basic.
Then it struck me… This is the perfect chicken and the egg problem.
The keyboard will only work if you hold down a key…..
A bit like “Keyboard error. Press F1 to continue”
Think about that.
Anyway, I hope this helps you if you areoing to add a PS/2 keyboard to your Commodore 64 DTV.

I recently found my 25 years old and “very original” Christmas present in an old drawer in the basement. I embarrassing remembered that I only learnt to do the two first layers on the cube and never the last, and far more difficult. And as a respect to my now dead and dear grandpa, which originally gave me the cube and spend hours with me trying solving it, I decided to pick up the long and forgotten cube and solve it once for all. I did a quick survey on the net and found literally tons of websites devoted to Rubik’s cube. I even found a guy who build them him self! Now after just one night, picking up from where I left, I got the last layer done. And no I didn’t cheat. But the “turning corner” thing really gave me a hard time. But take a look for your self at the links below and go and twist that cube!
