›› From: Chuck Steinman› DataQue Products› Post Office Box 134› Ontario, OH 44862› USA›› To: All Current TransKey Owners› › Re: Stock Keyboard Non-Functionality›› Date: August 1, 1992›››› If you are using a TransKey in your system, and the original Atari› keyboard has some are all of the keys which either fail to work at› all, or are inconsistant, this modification should correct that› problem.›› SOLDER-IN VERSIONS:›› Disconnect the TransKey ribbon conductor which is attached to pin-25› of PoKey. Attach one end of a 1K Ohm, 1/4 Watt resistor to pin-25› of PoKey. Attach the other end of the resistor to the wire which› was just disconnected.›› PLUG-IN VERSIONS:›› You will need to break the third from last conductor in the ribbon› cable (see diagram below). This should be done about two inches away› from the PoKey adapter socket. Insert a 1K Ohm, 1/4 Watt resistor› between the wire just broken. ›› The easiest way to break this conductor loose is to use a knife and› cut the thin part of the insulation (between conductors) for about› an inch, then when it is isolated, break it about in the middle.›› TOP VIEW DIP PLUG (TK END)›› ---\/---› | 1 14|------------------------------------› | |------------------------------------› | 2 13|------------------------------------› | |------------------------------------› | |------------------------------------› | 3 12|------------------------------------› | |------------------------------------› | 4 11|-------------\/\/\/\/--------------- to pin-25 of PoKey› | |------------------------------------› | 5 10|------------------------------------› | |----------› | 6 9|---------- Last 4 Unused› | |----------› | 7 8|----------› --------›››› thanks› Chuck››
