I am looking at the broken keyboard of a friend (old 512k style) which has
several dead keys (Q,S,D,[,],;) - I'm trying to remember where I may have read
about analyzing such problems.  does anyone else remember a write-up on
keyboard hardware?  it may have been a User's Group newsletter, MacTutor, ...?
where I had read a "useful" article about keyboards ...

anyway, my guess is that it's either one of the chips in the board or a
broken trace somewhere on the board ...

thoughts, anyone?  in the meantime, I'll try to find some spare chips ...
