[NTLK] Newton keyboard to USB adapters from tinkerBOY on Etsy1`````````````````````````

[Fritz Toch]

The seller of these adapters says they are using the code from this repo:

https://github.com/RatRanch/Apple-Newton-Keyboard-USB-Adapter

I'm envisioning a small box, sized for the Arduino, that takes the DIN in from the keyboard and sends USB out, but also might have indicator LEDs for caps lock, charging state, etc.
Anyone know a good source for the female DIN board mount connectors?
