A capacitance meter built from discrete ICs

Not much to say about this one. It was a project that I saw in an issue of Popular Electronics before it became Poptronics. It is a capacitance meter built from discrete ICs. It creates an RC oscillator and counts the number of wave-fronts over a given period of time to arrive at a value for the unknown capacitance.
AT Keyboard Interface

My first HC11 project when I was 16. This device plugs into an AT keyboard and converts the scancodes to ASCII, sending them over an RS-232 port at 9600bps.
