Hmm yes I did notice they had different keyboards. I thought this varient was ment to be better but yeah still doesn't feel all that great. Barely a step above the rubber key Speccys if i'm honest. :P

Didn't they call the other keyboard "Chiclet keys" or something like that? Aparently something to do with an American Chocolate or candy.

Oh and I have tested all 3 micros and they all power on, display and type fine. :D

The "Chiclet" keyboard referred to chiclet gum. the keys looked and were the size of them. it was absolutely horrible to type on them. Now, the chiclet keys are making a come back with laptops (I think apple started it), but they are much better than the old ones.

The CoCo had 3 keyboard in it's life span- Chiclet, Melted (what you have) and the "pro" keyboard- which everyone loved, it was perfect to type on.

Yeah i know they keyboards can be more difficult to find that the unit itself! Someones said to me they will put up the keyboard for sale next time its free listing, no idea why they cant just sell it to me direct but hey ho.

There was a Pioneer unit that looked like this one that allowed any other MSX to be hooked up to a Laserdisc player.

Drop an email to Bas Kornalijnslijper kornalijnslijper@quicknet.nl and ask if he has a keyboard for your Pioneer. Bas is a good resource of MSX related stuff in the Netherlands. Check out also his website.
