The keyboard on my MinisQL is a touch faulty at the moment - sticky function keys which I have tried to clean without much success - and I'd seen these black 'value' keyboards at Tesco and fancied one if I knew it worked reasonably well (for 3 quid I may just buy one to try anyway and keep it as a spare PC keyboard if it doesn't work with MinisQL interface). I have a SuperHermes Lite, it would be nice to know if it works with that. What's the "feel" like on the keyboard - cheap ones are often either very spongy or really "clackety clack"? -- Dilwyn Jones _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
