Thanks a lot lads, I`d got them by stepping up or down by 256`s from the ones I already knew, although I notice that when I didn`t have the exact right addresses then other (groups of) keys can affect the value`s (of other groups)...
Just going with using the straight addresses of what I need and the value for the key I need, i.e. 30,29,27,23 or 15, so no BAND yet... although it`s cool to realise it`s only using first 5 bits, and what last 3 can be used for... It`s working a treat, although I`ll have to do it the way suggested if I allow redefining of keys, and build a table or something? But for now, it`s working great, nice not to have to use the joystick keys :) Nice to finally get these written down in a notebook *_+ Also interesting to find out why the cursor (right cursor from memory) used to move the mouse down and to the left on Ease. always wondered :) Andrew Collier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, That's the right track, lots of things work in 256s (the high and low bytes of a 16 bit number). In the case of the keyboard, the lower byte is always 254 (I think your number for QEWRT is suspect) and the upper byte is one of the eight numbers which have 7 binary digits set and one clear. In other words: upper lower IN number byte byte (decimal) keys 0xfe fe 65278 VCXZ(shift) 0xfd fe 65022 GFDSA 0xfb fe 64510 TREWQ 0xf7 fe 63486 54321 0xef fe 61438 67890 0xdf fe 57342 YUIOP 0xbf fe 41950 HJKL(return) 0x7f fe 32766 BNM(sym)(space) These are all the same keys the Spectrum has. You can read the Sam's other keys if you use the same upper bytes and change the lower byte to 0xf9 and use the top three bits of the result. There's also the cursor keys on IN 65534, but I would avoid that in basic because you'll get into a lot of trouble with the mouse interface which shares that address (kinda).
