Failing 8042 KBC is a common issue on 286 and 386 motherboards… I used to buy broken motherboards and if they were beyond repair - they were a good source for these chips... anyway - 'blank' 8042s are readly available and cheaper too (not to mention I'm not a guy who breaks one repairable thing to fix another), the problem is they need keyboard "BIOS" to work as KBC and I have no idea how to program them. I found this site http://devster.monkeeh.com/z80/upi42/ some time ago, but it's a bit chaotic… I would rather program them just like atmel microcontrollers - ideally using my TL866... it would also be nice to have an archive for keyboard "BIOSes" (although I think they are interchangeable).
Any idea how to do this?
