[comp.sys.mac] 512Ke, external keypad bug

jimb@dopey.AMD.COM (Jim Budler) (06/24/87)

Long ago, and far away...

	At any rate back when the 128K ROMS, and the Mac Plus came out, a
	net person posted a semi-flame about the fact that the 128 K ROMS
	ate the first keyboard character on boot-up if the auxiliary keypad
	was installed, and also, if that first key press was on the auxiliary
	pad, infinite repeating garbage was typed.

	I replied with a 'no way jose'.

	He replied with 'LARGE CAPITALIZED yes it happens!!!!'

	I replied with a 'no way jose'.

	Sunday, I added a Supermac Dataport and XP20 to my 512Ke, auxiliary,
	keypad.

	Guess what.

	First key on the keyboard after boot disappears.

	If it's on the auxiliary keypad, autorepeat garbage.

Oh well, I love my Dataframe. I can live without my keypad.

Further comments, anyone?
Apple?

My apologies to the original poster.
