Re: Apple Extended Keyboard II Works!!

[lemonherb1@netscape.net (Herbert Fung)]

I remember buying one new back in 1991 for about $300.00CAN. Works
great. On a ROM 3 GS, the CAP LOCKS LED even lights up when you press
on it.

There was also a shareware program out there that used the keyboard
LED's to display drive access activity, and a SoftDisk GS program that
allowed the usage of the Insert Home, etc keys, and I think you could
custom assign the function keys.

Definately a major improvement to the look and functionality of at GS.
