- Not being the type to spend upwards of $50 for something that ought
- to be worth $5, I built my own 4->3 adapter so I could use a type 4
- keyboard on my 501-1164 (Carerra) CPU.

- My type 4 keyboard behaves in every way like the type 3 it replaced.
- In particular, I can't find any way to exercise the LEDs, and the
- key-click is screwed up (it clicks when you use shift, control,
- and other such meta-keys). I can live without keyclick, however,
- to get a keyboard where it's not necessary. :-)
