I just bought my c128D and I think is good. (Not the greatest thing
but does the job!) I experimented some poblems with my C-64 software
in the sense that the SID doesn't seem (sound) to work in the same way
as in the C-64.
Well, at anyrate, this posting is to look for a Keryboard Extension Cord
for the C128D. The detachable keyboard is really nice but the problem is
that the cord is too short (I don't want to have my computer in the kitchen
and the keyboard in the bathroom, but 1ft cable is kinda short!)

Due to the C64 compatibility requirement, the keyboard has no micro, and all rows and columns of the keyboard matrix are wired from the CIAs in the C128d, through the cable, and to the keys. This type of arrangement presents difficulties to mister FCC. Electrically, it SHOULD be possible to extend the keyboard cable another foot or so, but you would stand a high probability of violating FCC emmissions requirements. Hedley
