Okay, I feel really stupid. Last night, while trying to push my modem cable tighter into the back of my computer (a GS/upgraded IIe), I knocked over my tall glass of 7-Up, and some of it spilled into the keyboard. It started to auto-repeat, and even when I turned it off and left the System Saver going all night to help dry it off, it still did it this morning. I have taken the whole thing apart and cleaned the keyboard, but I don't know yet if it will work. Which brings me to my question: I don't want the GS one, because I don't like the keys. I do like the new Mac keyboards, and so I'm hoping they'll work. Does anybody know? something serious, a child could perform the upgrade operation. All you do is transfer the power supply (a process of unsrewing and replacing 4 screws, and plugging it in), put the top of your //e on the bottom of the upgrade kit (8-10 screws), plug in the keyboard, and viola! So much for Apple's recommendations. You might save a few bucks there, unlike me. I gotta go. Bill (DICKSON @ HARTFORD)

Both the Mac SE and Mac II keyboard are interchangable with the //GS keyboard. I've even seen the SE running with a GS keyboard at a demo. A bit of advice, if you can get your dealer to order the keyboard as a 'replacement part' you could save a few bucks. Nick Silva

The Apple Standard Keyboard works just fine with the IIGS. The Extended Keyboard also seems to work without any problems... Mark

The Mac SE keyboard will work on the //gs, so will the other Apple ADB key board (the VT-100 function-key version) and third party keyboards. Rick Fincher ranger@ecsvax
