   I am posting this message for a friend of mine. He owns an A-2000 with a 2
meg ram expansion and has noticed that when he runs Barbarian that the ESC key
doesn't seem to work as it should. It's supposed to pause the game. When he
told me about this I tried it out on my own 2000 (we both have REV 4.2 boards)
and it was the same on mine. I never paid it much attention since there are a
number of games that don't work right on the 2000. But he was wondering if it
has something to do with the keyboards. He told me that a friend of his bought
a 2000 recently and that the ESC key does in fact work properly for him when
he is playing Barbarian. Are there different versions of the keyboard going
around or is his friend just telling him something that's not possible?
  Like I said, I don't really care since it's just a game, but my friend seems
concerned. If anyone out there has a 2000 and a copy of Barbarian let me know
if yours behaves any differently than mine.
