roy ,

with your butchered keyboard,   how doy you do multiple keypresses to
achieve a final key press on your mfd , thats been buggin me ,
i have done a multi keypress comand with 4 relays switching the keyboard
contacts while the "mfd" button pulses the relays , it works most of the
time but if a relay doesn't switch at the correct time some other command
may be entered into the computer , it works but i'd need 120 relays to do
two basic mfd's  ahhh thats toomuch cabeling a soldering for this electrican
!!.
