Ari [APz] SovijärviDoes the very first batch of Atari ST have the type of keyboard which has million springs jump out if you take the keyboard backplate screws out?I have one with a broken esc-key and I'm wondering what approach to take to repair it. The key has physically snapped the cross-shaped thing that holds the keycap in place.EDIT: I'm starting to think it was those rubber pads that can fall out, it's been around 40 years since I saw that to happen, but I haven't opened an ST keyboard after watching my dad fumble it and spread what I assumed to be springs all over the floor. <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/atari" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#atari</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/atarist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#atarist</a>

DesertFOXSometimes, I just love to dig into really old games. Here's 1983s "Ms. Pac-Man" from Atarisoft. The game came on a double-density, single-sided 5.25inch disk of 160K. But when you tried to look into it from DOS, it just seem completely empty, because it's a "Booter" without a file system. Interestingly, this one doesn't seem to be copy-protected at all.P.S.
