The most recent I can find is at the bottom here:-

and here

You will need the relevant manual from Picomite Firmware V5.08.00 and a TTL to USB adapter to set it up.

The usb to ttl adaptors £2.50 "replace" ps2 keyboard, ie uses 2 gpio pins. You connect the usb to ttl to a pc and use mmedit and mmcc to find com port and flash.
The usb to ttl has 5V and 3.3V Outputs. Connect the 5V to pico VBUS to power pico, then plug in usb keyboard into the pico usb. The pico will then power the usb keyboard. stan

Martin H. said But when using those 7 inch VGA displays (approx. 17x11 cm), the keyboard should not be much wider than 20-22 cm. Unfortunately, I have not yet found a PS2 keyboard that is anywhere near as narrow.

Martin, A little while Back a buddy of mine and I picked a stack of these CRAPPY KANA Kits that Promise you it will make you're LITTLE SNOT NOSED Johnny will be the. Next Marvin Minsky.

The cool thing about these was they were $25 Pi3 B+ with case & Fan and this cool orange mini wireless Keyboard and trackpad that works well for media centers;) so the original plan was to repackage that Keyboard with they Eyoyo Monitor :)

Marvin the paranoid android?
I got a rpi 1,2,3 and 400. they're all crap at video media and the 400 keyboard gives 3 for lots of keys, a common problem and can't buy a replacement keyboard .

I'm not sure what you're expecting of them, but I've used a 3B to display Youtube stuff on the TV at 720P and it's been fine. They have a GPU to do the HDMI handling but not all software used to use it at one time and tried to do the rendering in software. Doomed to failure. The Pi 4 is supposed to be slow at 1080P though.
