Ah but it's Bob that sets the current prices though;-) I was lucky! I spotted a complete Sam keyboard at a Radio Ham & Computer rally, I got it for L2.50! Works perfectly but as yet it's only been needed to act as tempory keyboard when operating the SAM with the lid off! They're great for that:-) Personally I've found the SAM keyboard membrain to be excelent even after nearly two years of daily use for regular message writing as well as programming etc... Not one key has gone! Plus the sam has been taken appart MANY times and no signs of the ribbons getting stressed, yet;-) Though I would've prefered the ribbons to have been made a bit longer as I'm always worried about them getting creased due to it being a bit tight when re-connecting them. I much prefer the SAM keyboard action and layout to this PC1512's keyboard! Johnathan. ...
