Re: Keyboard

I currently have a 6 ft IIe keyboard cable and have never had any difficulties
with it.  I had my IIe main board screwed to the privacy panel under my desk with
the power supply hanging beside it.  (limited desk space.)  Everything worked
fine.  Never did get the IBM to share it's monitor though.  :(  I just folded the
cable up when I put it back in the case, it still works fine.
Thankx,
Ed
