Whatzat? It hasn't been very long since I've been to a dealer or looked at
mail order ads in Mac rags and I ain't come across it. Are you sure it's not
some New Zealand thing? :)

I just recently got an extended II for my Mac. I had been making do with a
standard II which doesn't go with a Quadra too well. I have an original
standard keyboard on the ROM 3 - it has the same layout as the IIgs kbd,
but has full size keys and a much nicer feel. I tried the extended kbd
on it but I already knew it worked great. So while we're talking about
lights, how do you light up num lock and scroll lock on the extended?

ROM 3's are much better, I'm glad I have one on my desk now. I also have a
coupla 01's around too. I better quit telling people to replace their 01's 
with ROM 3's or there won't be any left to replace mine if it breaks.
