Well, let me try again... The keyboard clock does work, but not with the 6301v1.0 (which is rev. 1). That is the chip of the early 520STs sold (of which I have one). The good news is that the mod works perfectly with the new 520 and 1040 which have the rev 2.0 chip. The keyboard part number that works is C070240-011. If you have one of the older keyboards, I don't think you can use the mod (I tried for over two days to get it to work -- I wish someone would tell me what the difference between the revs is!!!!!!). I am getting together a little doc to send over the network which could be followed by a layman (not a schematic alone -- hopefully I can draw a board with the character set) Anyway, if someone at Atari is listening, please tell me what the difference in the two chips are. I have been on Compuserve in the developer's sig, and there are no documents which explain the difference, not even the new hardware manual. I could contact the company that makes the chip, but that would be a hassle. Mike
