Does anyone have a schematic for the A500 keyboard? I have all the schematics for Rock Lobster (the main board) and the A501 memory expansion but not the keyboard. (I have the "A500/A2000 Technical Reference Manual" as well as the "Intoduction to the A500" that came with the machine when I originally purchased it.) Ever since I got my A500 (about 8 months ago) the top row of the numeric keypad and the '+' on the numeric keypad hasn't worked. It hasn't bothered me until just recently. (I just started using a calculator program that allows the use of the numeric keypad.) I think it is probably just simply a poor solder connection. If someone could look at the schematic and tell me if all these keys are on a common line in the matrix and what other connections that line has, I would be very very grateful. Thanks ever so much!

Wrong diagnosis. Nothing is wrong with your hardware. Simply type "SetMap usa1" and the keys will come alive. By default those keys 5 are not enabled. You can put that "SetMap usa1" in your startup-sequence. Required files: sys:system/SetMap devs:keymaps/usa1 | pur-ee!frohne
