Here's a thing I'd like: a us_coco keyboard layout for my PC

And, also and perhaps especially, for PS/2 keyboard adapters.

It's perfectly possible to define an additional keyboard layout for Linux
-- not sure for Windows, I'd need additional information -- but
nevertheless, I'd have a keyboard that's right for the PC, for XRoar, and
also for the CoCo -- and the PS/2 or USB adapter for the CoCo wouldn't have
to keep track of shift states or other nonsense. Scan code -> keyboard
matrix activity, simple as that.

(Speaking of which, I never had a Cloud-9 adapter, how does it work?

Here's the us and us_coco layouts compared. All that's needed is paint the
keys differently. I'd pay for a custom keyboard like that.
