Hello All.
For those of you that are familiar with the Dick Smith Super-80 Kit computer, this may be of interest.
Microbee Technology has designed 2 different keyboard replacement kits to suit both the original Super-80 kit
and the Reproduction (v1) PCB (designed by Malcolm Macleod)
So, now available to order in the Microbee Technology Store :
Kit A : (For owners of the original Dick Smith Super-80 that has the metal keyboard frame)
https://www.microbeetechnology.com.au/st...plate.html
This kit is designed to replace all of the original key switches with new 'metal ball & spring mechanism' switches that have
a shaft that is compatible with the original Super-80 key caps.

1 x Keyswitch adapter PCB
60 x key switches,
Misc screws / hardware
$95.00
Kit B : (For owners of the REPRODUCTION [v1] Super-80 that REQUIRES the metal keyboard frame)

This kit is designed to a full new keyboard with 'metal ball & spring mechanism' switches that have a shaft that is
compatible with the original Super-80 key caps.
