	I am currently investigating a replacement keyboard for my
Apple ][.  Not only has my current keyboard worn out (several keys either
repeat undesirably, or do not function regularly.), but I would also like
to have a full ASCII keyboard (with upper/lower case, and all those nifty
characters not on a standard Apple ][ keyboard.)

	The best solution I have found so far is to buy an Apple IIe
keyboard and wire up the matrix myself.  The Apple IIe uses GI's general
purpose keyboard encoder and a 2716 to provide for shift, caps lock, etc.

	I would appreciate any help from persons who have experience or
opinions on the subject.  Most importantly,  where do I find a keyboard
that doesn't have too many more keys than the Apple ][ keyboard, so I
don't have to hack the case too much.


			Thanx,
