Progress
The PS/2 Keyboard scan codes are being read perfectly.
I must make a Hardware Register in order to be able to read who makes the interrupt cause now i am polling all devices
(mainly 2 rs232 and ps/2).
The Ps/2 interface uses many chips, 7 74lsxx, mainly simple gates (not,or,and) and an LS299 to buffer the Keyboard data and to put the Data line in High impedance until an input is requested from the cpu.
Also i must clear the interrupt using an 'out' after i read the keyboard scan code.
For reducing the number of chips i should use the CPLDs i have from XILINX.

Re: Progress
PS/2 keyboard interface is working ok i had to use a couple of transistors bc547 to reset the circuit after the char was read by the host cpu.
So next in line is the hardware register i have to make in order for the z80 to know who made the interrupt.
Its better to work with interrupts than with polling each device.

Re: Progress
CPLD transfer is complete. use onew of my Xilinx XC9572-10pc44 to implement the ps/2 keyboard interface.
Instead of using 6 ICs 74LSxxx and 3 Transistors i use one CPLD. It should work ok and in a smaller XC9536.
XC9500s are all obsolete and it becomes harder and harder to find so i bought 4 xc9572s from alibaba as it was the chipper source 5$ a piece + 8$ shipping costs. Last time i bought them was 3.9$/piece.
I 'll bye some xc9536s at 2,5 each ASAP.
Interrupt registers will be implemented in a cpld as mosto of logic in order to reduce Chip count and complexity.
