As long as this is being asked, I might as well add my two cents:

I have a 4.0 B2000 w/ a 4.2 sticker, my keyboard doesn't throw away the first
couple of presses, but it IS one of the keyboards that will not work with
some (older) games... Here are some questions:

	Will the ECS Chips (Agnus & Denise) work w/o problems in my
	machine?

	Will a modern '030 board e.g., 2630 work ok?

	What are the advantages/costs/possible ways of upgradeing
	to the latest mb revision?

	Sometimes sprites get mangled, this happens mostly on PD games, is
	this a consequence of my machine being old, or is it something else?
	(these same programs work fine on other peoples machines)

Thanks to all,

-->Tony<--
