Vince,

You know my feeling on it. I WANT ONE NOW!
I've been seaching for a II+ keyboard for quite a
while and since you have a solution for me, I can
now look at putting the motherboard into my empty
IIgs case and use your adapter. I have a hard drive,
floppies and other controllers and power supply now.
Keyboard addition and I'm ready to rock and roll.

Thanks.
