I've just discovered that my 2000 came with the old style keyboard that
messes up some stuff because of timing problems.  Yes, it took me quite
a while to confirm this, but I'm not a big game fan, and I could always
play them on my wife's 1000.  The Processor Accelerator, however.... 

I seem to remember that a simple hardware hack to fix this problem was
floating around a long, long time ago.  Is this true, or am I just
dreaming? If a hack does exist, I would very much appreciate it if
someone would email me the docs on how to do it. 

Otherwise, does anybody know how much a new keyboard costs?  1/2 :-)

By the way, this keyboard also came with English (?) keycaps.  I got my
2000 mail order from Mountain Software.  The `2' has the double quote
over it, the `3' has the English pound sign over it, and the (normally)
`"' key has the at sign and something else.  (I think that's the way it
is anyway--I'm at work, and I don't really *look* at my keyboard that
often.) Interesting, huh?
