I have found my old acorn computer yesterday, and found the battery leaked beyond repair. The keyboard was perfect, but for a bit of yellowing. i was wondering if anyone has been able to connect it to a modern computer, if not, anyone know the signaling of the keyboard and how it works?
Thanks, Joseph!
Welcome! It looks like you’d need some electronics to do the conversion - the protocols are not alike. I see the kdbbabel project by Stephan Herold mentions this conversion as well as several others:

The source (8051 firmware, schematic, PCB design) is mirrored on github: tmk/kbdbabel
