I've recently noticed a strange phenomenon with my Amiga 1000 keyboard: every once in a while when I type a letter, I'll get the "Alt-ed" version instead of the normal one. This has only started recently, after I installed an 8-UP! board (via the Toolbox 1000 which gives a 1000 two A2000 expansion slots). I haven't yet done the PAL grounding mod, so that may take care of things, but I first wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem. I'm a little paranoid about poking around my 1000's guts if I don't need to.

I also get this, and I've noticed that it always happens when I'm resting the weight of my hand on the bottom of the keyboard. If I raise the weight off, the the spurious alts go away! Patrick Horgan phorgan@cup.portal.com
