Subject: Hong Kong BBC Micro keyswitches
Does anyone have a Wong's Electronics BBC Micro who would be willing to photograph
the switches?
I'd like to see the view with a keycap (keytop) removed, and the view of
one of the switches from the side. According to http://mdfs.net/Archive/BBCMicro/2005/09/14/012246.htm
these machines use "Wongs/SMK" switches, and we don't yet know how these
differ from "real" SMK switches.
Ideally, I'd like to see what's written on the bottom of the switch, if anyone
has a such a machine in pieces with loose switches lying around.
(I've e-mailed Wong's too, but odd are 99.99% that they don't even remember
what the BBC Micro was! ;-)
After we solve this one, the only one left to crack is the Type 3 switch,
made by a mystery company called PED. I suspect we will never find out who
PED were.
