: I have recently obtained a Franklin Ace 1000 clone machine and, on
: booting, it appears to operate properly (checks drives, reset switch
: enters into BASIC); however, the keyboard 'LOCK' LED is fixed at red
: and none of the keys appear to function.  I have seen a number of
: Keytronic replacement boards on e-bay.  Would this be a keyboard issue
: or something relating to the controller on the logic board?

Is there a keyboard lock switch somewhere on it.
I have a Franklin Ace manual coming, and if you
don't find out by then, I'll take a look and see
what's up. Send me an email with a valid return
address, and I'll get back to you.  :o)
