This is correct. I was in contact with Rene Bruns before, and he is
somewhat obsessed with keyboard interfaces. His technical understanding is
somewhat limited, he keeps stating that C=key is exactly the same as the
PC=key from the IDE64 guys, even though they use different microcontrollers.
It seems he now wants a test sample to write a test report for his
magazine. But initially he intended to build such a keyboard interface (and
distribute it?), and was looking for help with this. But he has no idea
where to get the parts, how to program them, nothing :)
BTW, I also tried to build the simple version of your (Jim's) interface for
C64 keyboard to DTV interfacing. I never could get it working, but with a
simple hardware change and another firmware based on mmc2iec it finally
works now :)
