Re: Franklin Ace 2200 key board plus other questions

I also would like to know if any one knows if this computer has any built in
acceleration (like the Laser 128/EX).

I don't remember anything in the manual about built-in acceleration, or even
using it with a transwarp card or zip chip.  The last two would probably work
with it however.

I'm missing a few keys on mine too.  Funny design for a keyboard that has held
up so well, considering.  Just a little bit of foam holding a thin metal disk
just above the contacts.  They pop in place easily (my "Solid-F" key, the
equivalent of the Solid-Apple key, was rattling around the box when I bought
it, but it's never come out since).

A word of warning about compatibility with Apple II software:

	Unlike the Franklin Ace 1000, MECC educational programs refuse to run on the
Franklin Ace 2200, so there may be others.  Never assume that the disk is
damaged until you try the program out on a real Apple II computer.
