I've seen messages about the Northgate keyboard.  It sounds really wonderful,
but it unfortunately only works on the 2000s and up.  With a cable
modification it will work on the 1000.

I've got an article here about how to adapt a 2000's keyboard for use on the
500.  Basically it's a cable modification and a transitor.

The question before the jury is, will the Northgate keyboard work on a 500 if
you build it a new cable?  Is the transistor required to get reset to work?
Has anyone put one on a 500 successfully?
