[net.micro.6809] RS"s $5 keyboard

 I have been using one of the $5 keyboards on my COCO for some time now.
 It works quite well and fits the old gray case perfectly.  It sure beets
 the old keyboard in every aspect.  Some of the keys do not generate any
 code under OS9 1.1.0 but seem to be remapped under 2.0.0.  At the same
 time the clear @ key does not generate a null under 2.0.0 and I have not
 been able to find any combination which does. Johnathan are you listning?

 The keyboard is in the retail stores but you will have to call around since
 it did not seem to be carried by all stores.  I do not have the part number
 since someone else picked mine up for me.  If you can get one by all means
 do so.  The only complaint is that the back arrow key is too close to the
 return key for my fat fingers and I must retype a lot of last characters
 on the command line.
