Larry Rymal asked about a hardware "Caps Lock" indicator for the ST... I'd think something like this would be fairly easy to implement.. *IF* you could detect the closure of the CapsLock key without disturbing the keyboard scan of the keyboard CPU... I'm not sure if you could isolate it with diodes or not... but if so, a simple "flip-flop" with a power-on reset would do the job. I'm not motivated by the idea enough to try it on my own ST, but I think I'll try to remember to mention it to Mark Sloatman of Practical Solutions.. (makers of the Monitor Master, Mouse Master and other assorted "Masters"..) maybe he can come up with the "CapsLock Master"...! BobR
