Hi There,

I'm really getting fed up at the moment with my keyboard. The actual thing
itself (that I got with my tower) works without any hassle whatsoever, but
the mapping is getting on my nerves.

The Help is mapped to Page Down, which makes sense. Insert, Page Up, Home
and End are mapped to move the mouse pointer (like Left-Amiga and the
cursor keys) which is increadibly useful for GFX work.

The problem I have is with teh Amiga Keys, they're mapped to F11 & F12 which
makes life amazingly difficult for everyday keyboard shortcuts like copy,
paste etc. especially when I'm using the mouse at the same time. Why can't
I use the otherwise redundant Windows keys?

I've been told before that the F11/F12 mapping is Hardcoded in the interface
(a eyetech EZKEY-SE I believe). Is this true? If it isn't possible to
change via software, are there any keyboard adapters that do have this kind
of mapping (idealy with the cursor mapping too)?

See Ya,



Andy "Rustler" Hall
