Well, I sat up and figured out the pin correspondences so you wouldn't have
to. It seems Atari saved space (and wire) by moving those chips to the
keyboard, and so now, here is are the translations from the new wiring
to the old. Old pin numbers refer to my previous posting.
new pin # old posting pin #
IC #1 14 1
1 2
2 3
15 4
4 5
13 6
12 7
5 8
ribbon pin #1 9
IC #2 1 10
2 11
15 12
4 13
5 14
14 15
13 16
12 17
ribbon pins 10 18 reset
11 19 option
12 20 select
13 21 start
14 22 (common to above)
I believe the matrix is correct, since I've tried at least two intersections
for each wire number. Beset by a flakey meter, it took me nearly 20 minutes
to confirm my suspicion that old pin 9 was connected to ribbon pin 1.
BTW, ic#1 refers to the one on the left, between the m and comma keys, and
just in case somebody doesn't have the red stripe, ribbon numbers are numbered
from the spacebar side to the edge.
Get those 400's doing something. NOW!
