No problem half the issue with modern systems is the inability to trace faults - I think the design is fine in the end - it is only the pinout used which can be done by changing where the ribbon connects on your block - so a warning on the diagram really is needed as it is likely all original MK14 use the same as you - we will have to see about the one from martin and indeed Slothie’s. It does mean that a full 40 key keyboard could be added if the software could ignore the echo’s that are generated by using pins 8 and 6 or 3 and 4 in my case. I have a cunning plan...
