Thanks for taking that switch apart! I did not take one apart becuase I feared I could brak something!

Indeed I own a keyboard with the same switches, just have to post some pics when I'm back home ...

Still want to know from when it is! There must be a sticker on the PCB!!!

Erm, what's that zx81 doing there?

Well, the keyboard is kinda connected to it. I'm guessing all the matrix rewiring was to make it work with the ZX81.

As I suspected! :)

If you ever want to sell it, please PM me... It would be a great eye-catcher at my zx81 spot for my homecomputer museum...

I have grown, oh Master of the Keyboard World.

I see the folly of my ways now.

I will not conduct these sacrileges anymore ( or less )

Yes....

Only need a space..... :-)
