[Coco] Coco keyboard trouble

[Bill Pierce]

It may well be an XT.. The keys are arranged all together. The left arrow is the backspace as well. There is no "space' between the main keyboard and the number pad like on newer keyboards. The keys are all in one big group. The housing is a big, thick, hard plastic and the rest is all metal like a hospital keyboard maybe.

Bill, 
As I have never seen one of these interfaces, seen a Puppo. Are you sure it is 
n AT and not a XT?? 
As Phill has stated that should work from a protocol standpoint. The XT protocol 
s different . 
Regards, 
Mark

ubject: [Coco] Coco keyboard trouble 

y current coco has an Eagle AT interface and the keys on the keyboard are 
lowly going one by one as the pads are wearing thin. As I can't find an old AT 
eyboard at the moment, I'm trying to get one of my old Coco 3 keyboards to work 
gain. I opened the coco keyboard and cleaned all the contacts and reassembled. 
ead keyboard. Upon further inspection, there seems to be a trace on the ribbon 
able coming from the keyboard that is broken. It's the very first trace on the 
ide that has 2 traces then a missing trace. 
s there anything I can use to "paint" over the trace to make the connection? 
his trace is on the clear plastic ribbon cable coming from the keyboard so it 
ould have to be something with conductivity and not melt the plastic. 
Thanx
