Hi Paul,

IKWYM, the keys seem to travel an awful long way before they register. Might
be my typing style, but my fingers start aching after I've used the keyboard
for a while.
I still quite like it though for some reason....
>....And I'm still not that fond of the extended boards....
I've only used one a few times on a friend's machine. Seemed OK.
Probably my only criticism was that the keys didn't travel far enough....
:-))
I know....I tend to judge all keyboards by my trusty 1985 AT keyboard
nowadays....

Yep, from what I've been able to find out the power controller is notorious
for failing in these machines. And you don't want to know what Toshiba want
for a replacement board....
Unfortunately I don't have the schematics and since it uses several
proprietary Toshiba chips (at least two MCUs I understand) I can't really
make much of a stab at fixing it....not to mention that it's mostly SMD
technology.... :-(
