Multifarious, Nice work! looks great in the machine. I have a couple of questions:
A- Krenath's experiments seemed to favor using diodes even though they are not on the original 800 system. What do you think? also I'm a bit of a newb to things electronic, but looking at the Cherry MX datasheets it seems to me the switches can be had with diodes internal to the switch? true?

B- I noticed some of the adapters you made for the 2U and 1.5U keycaps seem to be offset? couldn't you move the switch on the pcb instead to keep the keycap centered on the switch?
C- how did the overall finished height of the keyboard assembly compare to the original keyboard? I thought i might have to cut about .200" off the keycap stems.
D- what software did you use to layout the PCB? See newb here...
E- what do you think about mounting the switches to a plate to keep things sturdy? is that needed?
Thanks,
Sorry if these are newb q's
