Summary[edit | edit source]

The ADDS ASCII is an OEM ADDS terminal keyboard using NMB Hi-Tek 725 switches. The switches are white 2 eye linear switches for all switches except the spacebar, which uses a green 2 eye switch. This keyboard is another version of the NCR 4950 but has the ADDS badge instead. All other internals appear to be identical as the NCR 4950.

Protocols[edit | edit source]

This keyboard uses both the ADDS protocol and the AT protocol. Switching between the two protocols is done through jumpers located on the PCB.

Converter[edit | edit source]

Switching the board to PC/AT mode can be done via jumpers being installed only in the following locations: JP1-JP4. Soarer's or a TMK converter can be used with either a teensy or pro micro to internally convert the board to USB.
