Consider a grid:

    -+-+-- A
     | |
    -+-+-- B
     | |
     C D
The keys AC and BD pressed simultaneously are indistinguishable from BC and AD.


Yes, I mentioned the timing.

But allowing for one key and then a second key before you release the first one is a pretty big improvement for natural typing.


Since it was polling the keyboard, among other tasks, the timing of when it looked was not entirely predictable. I was pushing the 6802 at its limit.

At least the keys did not need debouncing, they were nice keys.

The code listing has disappeared, too.
