The light weight and low price of the Toshiba T1000 (and the reasonable
configuration, one floppy and a floppy's worth of ramdisk, and the 
DOS on rom) make it desirable to me, with two exceptions:  the DOS on
rom is quite old, like version 2.1 or so, and the keyboard feel is such
that I end up losing space characters quite often.  I don't have the problem
with the T1500, which has a nice key feel to me.  Even if I were willing
to pay the additional money, the 1500 weighs a lot more. 

Can transplants be done?  Has anyone done them, on the keyboard or on
the DOS rom?  Are there after-market fix ups for this machine?
