TTL UART isn't very good to use the APPLE //c.

Just for fun you can use the APPLE //c or control //c via the Wireless connection and/or bluetooth connection.

I've tested the Bluetooth connection and works even can play game.

But, if you can't find any good PS2 keyboard or just want to use remote keyboard via the UART connection, It would be wonderful method for you.

I spend some hours to support it for you.

it isn't the same as PS2 keyboard hence, you have to know some more to use full way.

You can send key data to APPLE //c via the UART (115200 fixed BAUD rates)

If you connect it by serial terminal (The Tera term recommended), But, still you can use PS2 keyboard and/or APPLE //c own keyboard.

Most of all APPLE //c key are mapped except OPEN APPLE and CLOSED APPLE.

I tested all under the Tera term

Support F3; last line recall

Ctrl + Reset -> F12 ; I can't apply it to any other key. Just press F12 then APPLE //c will got Ctrl+Reset.

Tested it on the APPLE //c (Model#A2S4000 and A2S4100) not test on APPLE //c plus yet.
