Hi Ken, W7TS
The QST July 1992 article on the CW68HC05 Keyboard/Keyer was a 
construction project, written by Ed Oscarson, WA1TWX.  At that time, kit
parts and keyboard interface parts were available from:

	Single Chip Solutions
	P.O. Box 680
	New Hartford, CT  06057

For example, a PC board and parts kit (excluding keyboard, case and
power supply), $75.  Programmed  MC68HC706C8P IC $40 which
when ordering the IC you specify IBM PC, ADAM or TI-99 keyboard.
Source code was available for $25.  You could get an assembled
PC board, excluding keyboard, case and power supply, for $90.
Parts to interface the IBM PC or ADAM keyboard, $5;  TI-99, $10.

A template package containing the full-size PC-board and part
overlay was available free from ARRL with business size SASE to:

	Oscarson CW68HC05 Keyboard/Keyer Template
	Technical Department Secretary
	ARRL
	225 Main St.
	Newington, CT  06111

Information above was plagiarized from July 1992 QST Magazine.
