Speaking of keyboards for the 400, I noticed Radio Shack is selling a keyboard
for $4.95. It looks like it came from a 600XL or 800XL - I think it even says
Atari on it.  Does anyone know if this would be plug compatible with the 400,
or interfacable with very little effort?  It has all the keycaps in the
proper location - cursor control, reverse video key, reset, select, etc. and
would be a pretty good deal for only 5 bucks if it worked.  But I looked on
the back of it and there are some IC chips mounted there (the 400 keyboard
is just a set of membrane switches, there are no chips on it), so it may not
be compatible.
