Typing on a C16 keyboard and getting input on my LM80C… Today I’ve also implemented the SHIFT key, so that now I can input a program directly in a stand-alone configuration without the need of a remote PC anymore. At the moment the SHIFT key is the only special key that is implemented, because I needed to input chars like double quotes, parentheses, and other chars. The next control key to be implemented will be the… CTRL. And then the C= that will be used as an ALT key, to get graphic chars.
