The PB2 diode is reversed because the Shift key grounds the PB2 input,
while the Apple keys connect PB0 and PB1 to +5v.  PB0 and PB1 are
pulled down by 470 ohm resistors in the keyboard, while the shift key
mod pulls PB2 up.

Good point! I had forgotten about the shift mod on the iie. After reviewing the schematic the the game connector and it became clearer. Thanks for the heads up.
