D'oh!! I used Ctrl-[ on some of my DEC serial terminals, until I
found a kbd that still had the function keys labelled, but it never
occurred to me here.
I guess you'd expect IBM to have hex-head screws
(to be undone with a
nutdriver), right?
Anything besides the slotted panheads you find on pre-PowerPC
workstations....
Indeed. Often all you need is the confidence to go in
there and fix it. I
generally tell myself that I can't be beaten by simple electronics or
mechanics. And for some odd reason that's true most of the time :-)
That's usually my attitude, but the last time I took a keyboard apart,
a cheap PC clone, I picked up tiny springs for an hour. Not worth the
hassle.
