Roger,
        If you look at the docs that came with PSTransformer(or should have in
the ARC file anyway), it says that he has recieved reports that the keyboard
locks up on a 2000 when you use it.  The main reason for the PS version was to
support extended memory and 68010 use.

        As far as I know there isn't a fix yet(not publicly anyway?) and I do
not know if the author is on the Net.
