[Line eater? What line ea

     I want to detatch my A500's keyboard from the system unit. I've got a
couple of small questions:
     1) What's a good length-limit on the keyboard cable? How sensitive is
the system to longer wires in that area? I only want a few feet of coiled
shielded cable; would that be enough?
     2) Can I order the top half of an A500 shell from Commodore, and if so,
how much would it cost? I'd like to cut away at an A500 top so that I could
have a standard-LOOKING unit and not destroy my original case. (I can't use
an A2000 keyboard case; no place for the LED lights. :-) I can see it now,
of course... "Why is your drive activity light on the keyboard, Dar?" "Oh,
that's actually the CPU Overdrive light. Turns on whenever I type too
quickly..." :-) )
                                                              - R'ykandar.
