I'm using Northgate's OmniKey/102 keyboard, one with the function keys on the left and i really love it... This keyboard allows you to exchange positions of the Ctrl and CapsLock keys. So i have Ctrl key next to the letter 'A' and CapsLock close to the letter 'X'. The problem is that I don't use CapsLock key often and would prefer to have Alt at it's place. I understand that this can be done by some sort of the keyboard remapping TSR, but this would no work under MS Windows. Moreover, the latest NorthGate ads in various computer magazines state that current version of the same OmniKey/102 keyboard allows you to exchange positions of Alt, Ctrl and CapsLock keys! Great, that's exactly what i need ... but it's almost impossible to get any piece of hardware upgraded from my part of the world (calling Tech. Support can also take forever) :-( So I'm asking the netland: does anybody out there know the difference between old and current OmniKey/102 versions? I suspect that it's only in the keyboard controller's EPROM. Another question: if there is NorthGate's BBS phone numbers available, or, better yet, some e-mail addresses, could some kind soul send them to me ? Thanks in advance, > Pete -- -- Pete I.
