The diodes in the keyboard/mouse circuit, D2-5, are ideally very low
forward drop diodes. 1. Schottky diodes (0.2v) would be ideal. 2. Germanium diodes (0.4v) would be a second choice. 3. Silicon diodes (0.7v) are borderline. Experience will tell if switching silicon diodes (e.g., 1N4148) are okay. Hasn't this circuit been used elsewhere for keyboard input? A wired-OR circuit with open collector components would not so critically depend on the diode's forward saturation voltage drop. --John On 07/14/2011 03:11 PM, Sergey wrote: U38 74LS93 was replaced with U71 74LS393 I think that D2,D3,D4,D5 are just generic 1N4148 diodes (unless I missed some conversation that says otherwise). But otherwise your list looks correct to me.
