How can you end the discussion that way?

To answer in your vein:

MY KEYPAD WORKS FINE WITH MY 128k ROMS!

I think someone is going to have to be a little bit more informative than
saying "Apple agree's that there is a problem." before I will believe that
the problem is universal for all keypads, and Macs. 

Has anyone checked to see if there is more than one version of the keypad?
Has anyone checked to see if the situation is a little more complex, i.e.
	(if 128k ROM && if keypad && if some init's) pow
or
	(if 128k ROM && if version 1 keypad) pow
or
	(if 128k ROM && if keypad && if !some init's) pow
or
	(if 128k ROM && if keypad && if >512k RAM) pow

I am the happy owner of a Mac with keypad and 128k ROM. I have been using it
extensively ever since the upgrade. I use the keypad. I have version 3 ROMS.
I have 512k RAM. I have system 3.2, finder 5.3. I had no problem while
I was still using system 3.1 and finder 5.2.

So I for one do not see the discussion as closed. I for one do not think
Mr. Hunt has the right to close the discussion. Mr. Hunt is welcome to
come look at my Mac working just fine with the 128k ROMS and keypad if
he believes that the 128k ROM and keypad are incompatible.
