2601.0. "Key strangeness" by STAR::ROBINSON () Thu May 25 1989 15:42

The "e" key on my A500 has started transmitting an escape sequence of some kind.
I noticed it in JRCOMM and in ED, but not at the CLI or in AZCOMM. Does anyone 
have any ideas about this?  Of course I am hoping for  a solution as elegant as 
John Sauter's "unplug and plug the keyboard cable" bug fix, but any hints or 
trouble shooting strategy will do. Since the 500 doesn't have a keyboard cable,
I couldn't try that one. ;-)

This just started this morning, so I can still joke about it...

2601.1There is a cableVIVIAN::S_GOLDSTEINTue May 30 1989 08:3715
    	Not quite right ?
    
    	The A500 does have a cable but it's in side the case.
    
    	The system is made up of two boards :-
    
    a) the Processor board
    b) the keyboard board which connect to the system board via a red
    6-pin connector
    
    I found this out by taking my AMI apart and voiding the warrenty.
    
    			Hope this helps

R: .1.  I stand corrcted. Thr is a cabl. Howvr, I am glad to say
that my  ky startd working again... ;^} Seriously folks, it seems 
to have fixed itself. If there is a next time, I'll have another option with
the keyboard cable, but this time wasting disk space on BOMBE:: seems to 
have worked just fine. Yay!
