I am talking about a shift key modification. Any ideas for a II+?

A shift key mod for the ][+??  All it takes is a wire; there's no big deal
about that really.  Mine consists of one wire with alligator clips on either
end, and one small wire coming out of the game I/O port.  Simply take a
thin short wire, stick it in the game I/O socket (I meant socket not port,
whatever...) at pin 4, and attach one end of the alligator clipped wire to
this short wire that's in pin 4 of game I/O, and the other end to the
keyboard encoder board.  You'll notice that you have under the keyboard
a pile of half-inch pins all lined up.  You'll want the one that's 2nd from
the right (at a bird's eye view of the apple, assuming that the bird is
aloft (1)).  This is where you put the other end of the alligator clipped
wire.  THEN of course, you need the lowercase chip or card or whatever.
(I use a Viewmax-80 card).
