If you can solder an IC, yes.

Yes

Battery...  If you put it inside the keyboard (cut off the old cable) then
you only need a TI cable (from mouser).  If you put it in a box outside the
kbd then you need a jack that accepts a kbd plug.

If its internal, and you spend alot of time building , I'm guessing yes.  I
just went to a computer store and they were having a free sale...  :)
