Somone a while back mentioned that they had gotten a dvorak layout
on a //e.  How was this accomplished?  Is it related to one of the ROM
chips (which I doubt) or is it related to the keyboard encoder chip
(Get your Dvorak encoder rings right here folks... :)???

'Twould like to know....


As far as the confusion between switching between the two keyboard layouts,
I am working right now on a //c+ with the dvorak layout, and right beside
it is my homebuilt //e clone with the qwerty layout.  Fortunately, the
keyboards have enough of a different feel that I don't have much probelems.
Far more confusion occurs when switching between operating systems -
Unix -> Prodos -> Dos -> AMOS.  I caught myself trying to get a directory
of files a few days ago, and it took me three tries (ls, cat, and finally,
dir!)  

Really, keyboard layouts are nothing comapared with the gymnastics one
goes through bouncing 'tween operating systems.....
