yeah while I was asleep.  SIGH.

Anyways before she touched it, it was working.

Now when I hit the power on the keyboard it fires up, does the extended tests (I had it set to do that) but I can't break out of the tests with the 'any key' nonsense, nor does Control ~ work.

It's like it stopped responding to the keyboard, but of course there is no messages about a keyboard failure......

Any hints?

I just saw on another thread, the stuck netbooting one that it's a busted keyboard... so I took it out banged it a few times, and now it "works" but it keeps fireing off .....'s

I guess I'll need a new keyboard, good luck on that...

Is the 192.00 part ADB or pre ADB?

I never could keep track of which was which...

No so it's the NonADB kind then I take it...

LOL of course she protests innocence, and the whole thing is because it's "old junk"...

Well all of a sudden while I was setting it up for a new ip address, the 'm' key started working, and it seems fine....

very odd.

Maybe it's just mad after all that moving about...

Were the ADB keyboards first, or did they come later?  I recall my 030 board being Non ADB but I swapped it for an 040 board I got on ebay so many years ago... (or what I can recal)
