It's a block of four, 0 and =, and O and P beneath.  Moreover, the left
shift key doesn't seem to be functioning anymore either.  It was kind of
frustrating even getting it to work THIS well, because my key outages seemed
to migrate depending on the position I held the old keyboard aloft.  (My
cable connections seem fine on both ends.)

SO, I figured it was in the cable or the old keyboard, but I just recently
picked up a complete platinum apple system.. curious, I took a look at its
keyboard, saw the single connector out for both the KB and the keypad, and
said "uh oh".. I was worried that the platinum mobo was looking for a
slightly different (vs extended) keyset, maybe explaining the outages.

But I'm glad to hear that there shouldn't be any compatability issues with
the mb itself.. makes troubleshooting a lot easier.

Thanks,

Steve
