According to Jim Sather, the numeric keypad layout changed between
0132-B and 0132-C.
If you are putting an older motherboard in a Platinum case, I
recommend that you do transfer the newer keyboard ROM to the old m/b.

See http://apple2.info/wiki/index.php?title=Pinouts#Apple_.2F.2Fe_Numeric_Keypad_connector
for the keypad mapping. Looking at the keys on my Platinum IIe, I
suspect the only key that would be affected by the old ROM is the 2nd
"ESC" which would probably turn into a "?".
