Hello!
     I'm building a keyboard for the PC that throws away the antiquated
QWERTY layout from the days of Underwood manual pushrod typewriters and
uses [gasp!] ergonomics instead. My keyboard is based on the idea that
all letters and symbols should be laid out in front of you (no combination
keys), but that they should also be where your hands can get at them. 
Punctuation and other symbols are mapped to letter keys so you might hit
[special blue key] plus "E" for a period. Space, return, shift, and some
others are under your thumb...  Anyhow; I'm looking for schematics and
source that I can modify for an 8048 or 8051 keyboard so that I don't
have to start from scratch. Any leads? -Jesse Newcomb, Mt View, CA
