What keymap are you running?

I have to say that are the keys on the numeric keypad. As for the keymap, doesn't even matter: it's the plain ROM 1.3 default setup.

Ah, young grasshopper, but that's where you're wrong. :-)

The default ROM keymap for 1.3 is an A1000 keymap - the extra keys in the numpad are missing on A1000 keyboards. You need to load a keymap to get them. USA is the ROM keymap, USA1 is the A2000/500 USA keymap and USA2 is dvorak. (just double checked the keymap names, it's been a long time since I ran 1.x daily ;-)

I hope this to be the problem!!!

But something is telling me that is a hardware question: The Falcon F16 ceased to get straight the plane on the horizon pressing the "Help" key (that was the first sign that something wasn't going right...).

Anyway, I'll try to boot a 1.3 WB and change the keymap, as soon as I go back at home (Which won't be at the near future :-( ).

Something surely I'll have to do, is to make sure that the plastic pad is well inserted at the microcontroller plate: I'll have to use a tester on the first bad key trace (the "Help" one) over the junction at the plate (or the first component on the plate, since its very hard to plug it out)

I have 2 spare working keyboards if your in the uk and need one i could sell one for not much more than cost of postage if it is the keyboard and not the machine. :-)

Thanks to both of you :-)

I'm currently living in Italy. If everything else fails, I'll start searching for a spare KB.
