British keyboard + System 3.2 issue

#1 Thu, 28 May 2015 - 19:14

Hello chaps,

I've recently added an HD20 to my 512k and have installed 3.2 in order to do AppleTalk networking etc.

The only issue is that System 3.2 doesn't appear to be compatible with my British keyboards - can anyone point me in the direction of either a British install of 3.2 or at least some kind of keyboard layout files I can add to the US system I've got installed?

Googling and searching the usual well-known places has turned up nothing.

Try asking Max1zzz; he's in the UK and helped me get a British English Mac OS 7.6.1. Include me in the PM as well.

Err. Localizer or Localiser. It will sort out your hash and pound signs.

@tanuki65 thanks - will do

Got the version slightly wrong - 3.3 - I think it gets upgraded from 3.2 -> 3.3 by the network software installer. Finder 5.5. If that helps at all.

Thanks - will use that to search too.

Bizarrely the bottom row of keys is also one key out of sync - eg I have to press the CTRL key for spaces!

Thanks for the help everyone!

In the end I found "Localizer" on a disk in this set: http://macintoshgarden.org/games/boston-computer-society-disk-images

All working now
