Yep - although I'm just skimming classiccmp these days; it's too depressing
reading all these fun stories and not having any 'toys' to tinker with :-) (at
least it's warm enough now to go outside and futz around with our ancient truck)

At least somebody reads my postings :-) All I have to do is box it up. The new board will
have to go in a plastic

right before I start drilling holes.
Yick... if you have to screw it, can't it
be on the back - or some form of
trailing cable so that a future owner can put things back to original should
they want to? Anyway, I have 3 HP150 keybaords (one missing a keycap
IIRC) and 2
HP150s, so I have enough bits to have an oriignal keyboard per machine if
I want to.
That keeps me happy :) I've done that before with old cars; I don't mind
irreversibly modifying something if I have a spare unmodified part laying
around that will be kept purely so the mod can be backed out of at a later date.
