[comp.sys.atari.8bit] Transkey Board

rrwood@contact.uucp (roy wood) (11/23/90)

For those who are interested....
 
I installed a Transkey board in my 130XE, and am using it at this very moment
to type ths message.  It installed easily, and works quite nicely.  (well,
once I found a keyboard it liked :)  Yes, there are problems with typing
quickly, though it's inconsistent-- sometimes there are problems, sometimes
not.  I'd recommend it as is, and I'd definitely recommend it if the
bug is worked out (there's an upgrade socket on the board, and it is set
up with an EEPROM.  Heck-- you could easily write your own OS for the
Transkey board and fix the bug yourself.)
 
The docs are complete and easy to follow, and there are even instructions
for burning your own EEPROM with different macros.
 
I'll end this rambling now....  Direct questions to comp.sys.atari.8bit, or
to me.....
