#121916 - PNP?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Is this an arbitrary choice, or does it reflect some advantage of which I'm not aware? There are on pullups that I can measure or otherwise observe on any of the matrix lines.
made with PNP transistor derivers?

What's the benefit of pulling down rather than pulling up the one currently driven row/column?
multikey for one, it is a heck of lot easier to handle a 'wired or' in negative than in positive logic

High or Low in keypad scanner?            01/01/70 00:00      
   PNP?            01/01/70 00:00      
      maybe with TTL, but what about CMOS?            01/01/70 00:00      
         I would not, the user does            01/01/70 00:00      
            that depends on how you scan the inputs            01/01/70 00:00      
               physical/technological reasons            01/01/70 00:00      
                  What sorts of reasons?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  early MOS technology            01/01/70 00:00      
   Maybe they did it...            01/01/70 00:00      
      Oxymoron!            01/01/70 00:00

   We are living in a TTL world...            01/01/70 00:00      
      I don't know why this interests me, but ...            01/01/70 00:00      
         a proverbial answer            01/01/70 00:00      
            So you figure it's just a matter of preference?            01/01/70 00:00      
         You really should get out more!            01/01/70 00:00      
            Yes, it's a second childhood ... or maybe a third            01/01/70 00:00
