Hello everyone,
I just picked up a mint Commodore 128D the North American version but it's missing the keyboard. I already know they are hard to find, anyone have any tips on something I can use in the meantime?
Thanks
RC

wow a missing keyboard , dodnt tell rob....lol
yes its quite common
it may look ugly but it works, you can use a keyboard from a regular flat 128
you will find the cable is quite short and really only good for testing the 128d out
you can fix that with a few feet of ribbon cable and 2 male crimp on db25`s
to finish it out to look good you can use a 128`s empty case to mount the keyboard in and cut the back half off to make it shorter
