	Had an interesting thing the got fried on my keyboard.. Maybe someone
could comment on simular experiences.. etc..

	Keyboard started to be very flakey, and wouldn't send keypresses to 
the computer. Mouse was perfect though... When I switched cables around from
``normal'' (ie. switch the cable going to the computer from the left socket
to the right, and the mouse from the right to the left) it works ok..
As far as I could trace, the bus goes right into the micro-controller, so that
means the micro-controller must of fried off one of its ports.. 

Oh well.. I just have cables criss-crossing across my desk now..

I wonder if I can copy the PROM of the micro-controller into an EPROM version
of the micro-controller.. I don't remember seeing a way from the data-sheets
on it.. Fairly standard micro-controller.. Forget the # now..
