Keybounce was a periodic problem with my first system under Level II.
It came back every time I turned the machine over and dumped out the
month or two worth of cigarette ashes that had accumulated, lasted
maybe a week until I'd dropped enough more inside.
In 1980 I moved into a Commodore Pet with a single IEEE Floppy drive, this was like
heaven, A
nice clear green 9 inch monochrome monitor, no more cassette tapes, 32K RAM, what more
could a
person want.. Well OK, add a Printer another $700.00, and a 300 baud modem $200.00.. And
at
about $2600.00 I had a dream machine.. Phil...
Checked out a Pet with the original tiny rectangle keyboard before I
went with the TRS-80. Yuck. Turned me off the Pet (and anything else
with a 6502) to this very day (and the Atari 400 keyboard didn't help
much either).
The Commodore Pet I purchased in 1980 had a full size keyboard with
numeric keypad. This model 2001 was much improved over the original Pet
with chicklet keyboard, however I wished I could today find one of the
old Pet's with chicklette keyboard, they are very rare these days.
The Radio Shack Model One was a great unit, I spent thousands of hours
on it befor I went to the Commodore Pet...
