### PCB

Use [the Gerber](./Keyboard/production/Decent1200_modern_keyboard_4m.zip), [BOM](./Keyboard/production/Decent1200_modern_keyboard_4m-bom.csv) and [position](./Keyboard/production/Decent1200_modern_keyboard_4m-positions.csv) files to order a PCB with all the SMD parts assembled (vintage versions: [Gerber](./Keyboard/production/Decent1200_keyboard_3.zip), [BOM](./Keyboard/production/Decent1200_keyboard_3-bom.csv) and [position](./Keyboard/production/Decent1200_keyboard_3-positions.csv)). That includes a pair of 4051 chips that decode and encode queries to the keyboard matrix. The 1200XL is the only Atari computer to have those chips on the keyboard and not on the motherboard, which reduces the number of wires necessary in the connector, but makes the keyboard slightly more expensive. It also makes it necessary to have a PCB for the keyboard, a requirement Atari dropped in later computers for the much cheaper membrane-based keyboards in some XL computers and in the XE computers. Note that the vintage PCB has through-hole footprints for the original 4051 chips Atari was using in their keyboards. This is usually going to remain unpopulated, and is only there to allow using vintage chips instead of the modern surface-mounted ones that should come assembled on the PCBs.
