|    Tandy 1000ex stuck input?    |
|    07 Oct 21 17:44:49    |
      From: butternubs92@gmail.com              My Tandy 1000ex boots up great, outputs perfect video and audio, reads my       5.25'' floppies, and generally seems clean upon inspection, however, there       seems to be some issue with the key input.              For example, in Boulder dash, the character is constantly moving left, and in       other text fields, a constant shift leftward is present, as if the left arrow       key is constantly being pressed. I disconnected the keyboard and the issue       remained, meaning the        Tandy thinks a key is always pressed, regardless of the presence of the       keyboard.              I ordered a joystick adapter hoping to play without needing to worry about the       arrow keys at all, but I'm now wondering if the input of the joystick totally       overrides any previously present input (would the joystick cause the Tandy to       disregard the        constant left input?).              Regardless, If anyone has any information as to what problem my Tandy 1000ex       is having or how to visually identify the problem on the motherboard it would       be great to hear it.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
