ZX Spectrum 48/48+ PS/2 keyboard adapter, based on https://www.avray.ru/zx-spectrum-ps2-keyboard/

This is "bis" version which adds additional compatibility.

  

Technical details:

  • NoWait version
  • Additional buttons F11,F12
  • original keyboard might not work when PENGUIN is connected
  • vertical PS/2 connector is much stronger then vertical one and helps avoiding power plug conflict

 

Keys mapping:

  • Reset - PrtScr
  • CapsShift - Shift (works like on a PC)
  • Symbol Shift - Ctrl
  • NumLock changes cursor keys and space bar to Sinclair Joystick 2

  

 The device works in one of two modes selected by shorting one of the jumpers (you can use 0R resistor as per photo):

  • Z80 mode - as per original Penguin interface, that uses RDFE signal from Z80 CPU - right jumper shorted
  • ULA mode - RDFE signal comes from IOULA pin of ULA - left jumper shorted

Penguin work modes - jumpers

 

Our tests show, that some ZX Spectrums prefer second work mode, some work in both, others only in first. This is down to the specific unit.
