My host ate my post about how the entire top comes off all the kbds I have
aside from the IIgs kind. You take out the screws and all that comes off is 
the flat part over the ports. I never got one any further apart than that. I
saw one that someone had spilled something on and the keypad keys were busted 
out like he tried to take it apart and it fell apart. No biggie since mine
are where they can't get dirty anyway now.

Actually I took out my .procmailrc file so I can get mail here now. Thanks
but I don't have enough extended kbds to go around as it is. Plus I have the
kbd I want on the IIgs already.

I need to find another bunch of computer stores like out in Colorado. I got
an AppleDesign extended keyboard that looks brand spankin' new aside from
one scratch for a buck. I also got a mouse II and an AAUI to twisted pair
transceiver for a buck each at the same time. That was at the place with the
box full of adjustable kbd parts. Places run by Gates disciples don't want
Apple stuff around so they give it away. I need to find some places like that
here in Boston now.
