Turbo-R with European keyboard
Well, if you want a MSX Turbo R with an European keyboard you may do the following: SNIP and finally, redraw all keys of the MSX Turbo R. I was thinking about connecting an external keyboard, although I'm not sure yet about how that could be done (use Padials interface? but that uses up a cartridge slot; maybe design my own interface? that would be good for an MSX with a connecter for an external keyboard, like the Philips NMS machines, but the Turbo R would have to be dismantled). BTW does anybody know a solution for the problem that the 11*8 switches of the keyboard matrix would have to be emulated in a PC keyboard interface for MSX?

A very weird idea is: cut all track on the film of the keyboard and remake the connection using copper wire or anything else. And put a single IC. :-) Best Regards Alex Mitsio Sato MSX Mailinglist.
