Well thats weird. Now all the keys are working. I'm happy, but still, I'm convinced there's a problem there somewhere.
Congrats!

That said, intermittent bugs are a b***h to find! I assume you've pulled the whole thing apart and plugged/unplugged the board several times to assure a good connection? The only other thing I can think of offhand is to check for a "lukewarm" solder joint that's gone "cold" over that 19 year span?

By the way, if there's one thing for sure, surfing the net on a 16 year old lappy with 8MB of RAM via a 3G connection is really cool - even if there is a MacBook between said PB and 3G modem.
Very 8-) indeed! I'm going to have to try that Networking trick at some point, but since I don't have an Internet connection at home . . .

. . . there's no great hurry . . . ::)
