Keep up with the fun - I have just added keyboard layout switching. Allows mapping of gemini
keyboard and easy use of the gemzap screen editor.

To switch keyboards hold down left control and press right control then release both controls

To switch back hold down right control and then press left control and then release both controls.

Please keep in touch with your progress on Gotek - I have wondered about getting one.

I don't have a 80bus machine any more I just use the emulator but as the emulator can drive (some) real cards eg (GEMINI SVC, PLUTO and Digitalker Card). I can do some real IO.

For the keyboard mapping I have compared it to a real gemini keyboard and the gemzap manual.

I thought you got a hard disk with your machine along with a xebec/adaptec scsi to mfm converter - do you know the model numbers (xebec most likely 1410).

I have had fun too.... please please please keep your blog going.
