C64.web.it keyboard question

Hi Everyone,

a friend just gave me a C64.web.it keyboard.

It's the keyboard from an X86 pc made in late 90s with emulation of C64 i guess.

I only have the keyboard (attach photo), with a nice Commodore key
The keys/keyboard has a ribbon cable similar to Amiga.
The keyboard is small and very nice.

Does anyone has the schematics for the ribbon pins?
I have an old USB Keyboard that i open it and i have the 2 ribbon cables. When i put a wire from 1 pin of ribbon 1 to other pin of ribbon 2, he makes contact, and a key is pressed.
Just like this:


I wonder if i could convert the ribbon cable from this C64.web.it to a standard usb keyboard.

In the Usb keyboard, i just need to connect a wire from all pins, to know what key it will make. Easy, but in this C64.web.it, i don't know.
Maybe with a multimeter... If i press for example "A" key i should be able to see witch pins makes the current flow by placing the multimeter needles in every combination of pins...

Thanks

Multimeter time, I'm afraid.
