Well from the looks of the KB test looks like one of the row/colum
select lines are sharter as the doubled keys repeast ina patter, ie:
s or l pressed both present sl
w or o pressed both present wo
caps or f7 pressed both present caps+f7
f1 or f8 --> f1+f8
. or x --> x+.
2 or 9 --> 2+9
all other keys seem to be ok.
Anyone have any dissasembly advice for theese units ?
