Ah. Well, in that case, I'd trace the matrix out and build up a circuit for
it, then figure out where on the 40-pin socket it leads and build up an
adapter to fit a microcontroller (probably an 8051 - that's probably what the
board was designed for, or its close relative the 8048) in there. After that
I'd cook up some keyboard scanning code and have a play.
It's a fair bit of work though...
