RE: PET 2001 Fix....WAS: Will pay good money for NON working PET2001motherboard.

I think all the business keyboards already had a shift lock key, didn't they?

I just had some fun replacing a broken shift lock switch on one of my 
keyboards, so I'm no stranger to the switch and its wiring.

Philip's experiments with the alternate Katakana characters just got me 
wondering if there was an easy way to lock it in shifted mode in software 
without having to write a resident program.

On the graphic PET keyboard the shift keys are between lines 15 & 6 and 15 
& 1 on the keyboard connector.  On the business keyboard they are between 
15 & 7 and 15 & 1.

If you wrap wire around the keyboard connector pins, and then plug the 
keyboard connector on top of them, you should get good enough contact for 
a switch to work.
