* OSI Compatible interface
|
|
|
|
An interface for OSI computers that is compatible with the OSI 542C keyboard, including sound circuits.
|
|
|
|
This interface also permits substitution of a soft-shiftlock function using
|
|
a regular momentary keyswitch, instead of the hard-to-find latching keyswitch.
|
|
An LED is provided to indicate SHIFT LOCK status. This interface mates with
|
|
the Classic ASCII keyboard, configured with the OSI keycaps.

**Construction Notes:
|
|
|
|
1. If a diode per key is installed on the keyboard, then omit diodes D1-D8 and install D18.
|
|
|
|
1. If the keyboard is not installed with a diode per key, then install D1-D8, and omit D18.
|
|
|
|
1. The RESET delay is about 3 seconds with a 6.8 uF capacitor at C20. 4.7 uF gives about
|
|
2 seconds, and 3.3 uF gives about a 1 second delay.
|
|
|
|
1. If you want to use the sound circuit with an older 540A video board, then on the 540A board, jumper pin 13
|
|
of IC E4 to pin 15 of the keyboard connector, and on the OSI interface board, set JP1 to "S1".
|
|
|
|
1. If you use a 540B video board, then set JP1 to "/S1"
