	I just recently had a problem with my IIe that I can't figure out,
maybe someone out there can. Last night, as I was using the system, the
keyboard started working improperly. Instead of typing the normal charaters,
it would type a space or a random charater (either upper or lower case). This
happened for any and every character I typed. I was in 40 column mode at the
time. I then shut off the system and rebooted with the old standard System
Master disk. Same result. I tried this several times. I tried the system
self diagnostics...all ok. I then checked all the cards, proms, etc. for
proper seating, loose connections, etc....reboot....same thing. (The disks
were booting properly so I knew it was not a disk or drive problem.) I then
booted a program that used the 80 column card instead of 40 colomn mode.
Everything worked fine. I rebooted again with the Master. Everything worked
fine, so the 80 column card obviously cleared up the problem.

	Anyone out there have any idea what's going on? Was this a fluke, or
should I bring in my system for a checkup? Thanks in advance.
