Canada Lines: 20 Although I never did it (having a 2e instead of a 2+) a friend of mine discovered that the 2+ keyboard PCB uses a keyboard encoder chip with provisions for lower case - it just isn't hooked up. Furthermore, a standard slide switch can be installed in HOLES ALREADY PROVIDED ON THE PCB that gives either standard Apple or upper/lower case with the keyboard shift key. He chose to mount the switch on the front panel anyway for convenience. The problem is in the Apple monitor, which masks any lower case to upper case. The fix is simple if you put the monitor in the language card RAM. -- Doug Collinge School of Music, University of Victoria, PO Box 1700, Victoria, B.C., Canada, V8W 2Y2 decvax!nrl-css!uvicctr!collinge decvax!uw-beaver!uvicctr!collinge ubc-vision!uvicctr!collinge
