 Nope...  All the keys work fine..  When I boot with OA-Ctrl-ESC-Reset the
machine briefly says "Normal" at the top of the screen like it should..

  I'm not even looking at 16-bit software.. Purely 8-bit stuff..  Most
specifically Apples very own //gs, //e, //c, //c+ diagnostics disk..  On the
//gs the menus "snap" up on the screen on the //c+ they dont.    I just did
something interesting..  I have a disk that has a good long basic program on
it...  I booted the disk on the gs and the c+, loaded the program typed "list"
an pressed the enter key at the same time on both machines... The //gs was
finished listing quite a bit before the //c+.   This would indicate to me that
the //c+ is not running at 4mhz.   The //c+ was cold-booted byt the way...

<<You will find a 4Mhz 65C02.>>

  Well I don't think thats what i've got here...   Mine is made by VLSI and is
identified as being a 6502-A.   It does however have a "Copyright Apple 1987"
on it.
