Research Machines Information

Tony,

The machine powers up okay.....but the keyboard repeats (a bit like local
echo). If I press a key, I get two of the same character on the screen. One
appears when the key is pressed, and the other when it is released.

Any ideas ?

I have both machines, and documentation on them. Including schematics for
the 380Z (CPU, memory, text video, hi-res video, floppy controller) and
the 480Z (machine only, but including the option board).

I don't have the service manual, but I do have the hardware manual. It
includes schematics. Alas my manual was mis-assembled by RML, so some
pages are missing and others repeated, but the scheamtics _are_ all there
and readable.

What is the fault?
