- You may have a problem here. The ribbon is like a flexible circuit board.
- If you pull apart an A1200 keyb (DON'T!!!) you will find that the ribbon
- is not a seperate piece but is actually the outer extension of the insides.
- ie. The keys actually make contact with the green material.
-
- Therefore I think this ribbon is not a standard and would not be very easi to
- get a hold of. I presume that you are attempting to make an extension, I have
- been wanting to do the same but have not been able to find a solution :(
- If you do PLEASE let me know!
