Hello,

I am trying to connect an 8x8 membrane keywitch to a PC/104 and I was
just wondering if there is a module or software available that will
allow me to quickly do this.  I know I can do it with writting some
software with a 16 I/O board but I wonder if there is something out
there already.

Most PC/104 CPU boards have a standard AT-keyboard port. The easiest way is to have your keypad emulate the AT keyboard. There are software kits available to run on an 8051-family processor that can be customized to match your keypad layout. There may even be ready-made modules that do this.
