Hello,

Looking for keyboard pinout and protocol description, presumably from Videoton terminal:

PCB marked as "VDN-53". Three 74LS155 IC, five 74LS38

Sketched a piece of the circuit connected to the cable... Any ideas on how to control the keyboard?

Finaly i made it work. I made simple Parallel keyboard to USB converter based on STM32. Keyboard has very unusual English layout. To type the 'DIR' command I spend about 10 seconds 😊
