Remapping the HP150 keyboard

At least somebody reads my postings :-) I thought long and hard about this. Putting it on the bottom is difficult, since you don't want the keybaord tilted at a stupid angle. The back is impossible, the back of the HP150 keyboard is a clip-on cable cover, so it's not rigid enough to fix things to. I really don't want a separate box either. As it is, the modifications will only really be to the keyboard top case, which is, IIRC, the same top case as is used on the HP46020 HP-HIL keyboard, so it's not hat hard to find a spare. And these mods will consist of cutting away some of the plastic (hidden by said clip-on cover) to allow the ribbon cable to exit, and 4 3mm holes on top. These could be filled and painted over, or used to attach a nameplate, or something if you wanted to reverse the mod. Reversing the electical modification, of course, is simply a matter of unplugging a 14 pio DIL header from a socket on the keyboard PCB and plugging a 4024 counter chip in place of it. 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. -tony
