I need a program written that will allow us to control and old DOS system as if it was an old PS2 keyboard. I need to download a .cvs of items from our web store and put it into some kind of tool that will add a sequence of keys before and after the variables. I need to plug a PS2 keyboard lead into my old DOS system and the device act as if it is typing the data in. The structure is as per below, square bracket items are the variables [Part Number], down, enter, [Quantity], enter, [Price], enter, enter, enter, enter, [Batch], enter, enter It runs off of a Windows 98 system so it needs to be plugged in without having drivers installed. It also needs to have an setting to time between each key as the system would crash if keys were hit too fast. Ideally it would have a usb lead or SD card slot for me to put the data onto the emulator, then a button for it to run the script. I used "The Glitch" which would have been perfect but the system wouldn't recognise it as it was USB based Thanks Karl

Hi, I have experience for 15+ years in electronics/embedded development. I have several years of advanced AVR/arduino development, including library development from scratch. Practically all Arduino AVR boards used, like: 2009, 2010, UNO, MEGA, NANO, MICRO, MINI, etc. Several shields used like Ethernet (W5100, ENC28J60, etc.) with various IP protocols implementation, various graphical TFTs with and without touchscreen and various BUS types (parallel, SPI, I2C, etc.), all kinds of sensors and buses, serial and parallel memories, etc. I have developed previous projects with arduinos acting as PS/2 keyboards and I can easily implement your project too. This will be tested in a real live environment with a native PC with PS/2 interface running W98. As for how/where to store the keys to send through PS/2, I think the best approach would be an SD card (virtually no limit on the amount of data stored) - a file would be generated in a PC with a specific format (like 1 key per line or similar, that we would agree later), saved to the SD card and put into this project's device, device powered up and card initialized, when a button was pushed in the device, the file contents would be sent sequentially and until EOF to the PS/2 host (with a programmed delay between chars). Before any payment is made, I'll provide a video demoing all the final implemented project. If you are interested in my bid, feel free to contact me. Regards, Carlos.

Dear Sir. I had make a similar project before (keyboard "transparent" adaptor for USB input) For connection of USB keyboard you will need some board (USB-host shield). In any case, I will make a working prototype.I'm already out of that boards after the last project I just sent to the client, that's why I need about 7-15 days to get the new one. If you want to use the SD-based version only, you need only the SD-adaptor. I can install Win98 at the one of my comps and make complete test. I can make and send you the whole working device after tests, in that case, the cost of the components and delivery will be added to it. With best regards Maxim Bulkowsky
