Happy Thanksgiving!! :) I'm dropping a quick message before I go to stuff myself full of turkey to ask some help in finding a keyboard for my MM/1. Recently, my 't' key became permanently depressed (all the t's you see in this note have been cut&pasted using K-Windows mouse... glad the feature is there, but highly inconvenice compared to keyboard entry!!!), so I ordered the exact same model keyboard again. It arrived last night, and I just tried plugging it in and searching for the XT/AT compatible switch, and there is none... sigh. One of those auto-selectable jobs. Knowing the worst already, I tried it anyways and sure enough, it doesn't work. I've been avoiding my computer for a week now, and I can't take much more (note my panicked voice and signs of withdrawal symptoms)... if anyone knows where I can get an XT ONLY keyboard, or one with a manual switch, please oh please tell me where. I have been using a Chicony ultra-cheapo KB-5191 (same as the MM/1 had in its Rainbow review), so anyone else using it should beware... it's been upgraded. :) Thanks for any help! -- Joel Mathew Hegberg.
