Optional Pass Through Connector The optional pass through connector assembly allows both keyboards to function. Performing the installation above, the CoCo’s internal keyboard was not connected, thus it will be unable to be used. This connector assembly ties both the CoCo’s keyboard and the PS/2’s keyboard matrix chip in parallel. -

3. Operation Key map If you take a close look at both a CoCo and AT keyboard, you will soon realize that there is a distinct difference in the layout of non-alphabetic keys.
