- An update... and the first response to my own question. I made another
- cable, which seems to fit and svereal keys *still* don't work. Again,
- it's every other key on the second row (the q,e,t,u,o,@ and ^) along with
- the F5 key. All else seems to work.
-
- I begin to suspect the keyboard.
-
- Luckily, it seems to have shift/run-stop loading, which lets me check out
- some other aspects. Sound is awful-to-nonexistant; it does some strange
- color-shifting and loses lines when listing directories. My old cracked
- Maniac Mansion works, while my cracked WHere in Tine is Carmen, etc.
- crashes. GEOS works, but my mouse won't.
-
- Mostly, I'd like to get the keys all working. Sounds like it may be just
- one wire (or trace?? - I'm so ignorant).
-
- Anyway, any thoughts would be much appreciated.
