(failing that, there's a Tek quadrature mouse on my XD88 which I assume would work) Minor problem, in that I found the keyboard's pretty hosed. It uses metal foil circles for the switch contacts; these are attached to the switch plungers via foam spacers which give he correct clearance and presumably help with the keyboard's feel... Unfortunately it's the same stuff normally used for fan filters, and has totally decayed :-( I *might* have a bit of foam sheet of the right thickness from which I can cut replacements, but doing it for that many keys is going to take me a while! :) Hmm... I suppose if the self-tests are mouse driven I can run the keyboard with no keys just for the purpose of testing the terminal though (and short pads where necessary to simulate keypresses) Thanks for the info! (I'd tried powering up with self-test held in, but not doing a reset with self-test held in :) cheers Jules
