I believe it does, but I haven't tested it (it's one of those common pieces of hardware that I still don't possess)...

it does sort of. Prophet 64 uses all the keys as note values for seqcuenser step edit... but the bottom two rows are like a keyboard, and the top 2 rowas are... however, only about half of the top 2 rows are used.. so MOST of that keyboard is useless and the bottom two rows are not covered by that keyboard.

That keyboard is, however, perfect for Cynthcart!!!

I just bought a pair of these because in my ignorance I thought that they could fit on a C64C... Turns out they really can't. Anyone know of a good mod to make them fit? I'd like to mod the keyboard overlay rather than the C64C....

Maybe it's a silly idea, but how about cannibalizing an old breadbox, cutting out some kind of 'adaptor shell' and hook it up between the C64C and keyboard overlay?

It's not a silly idea, but it is an expensive one, for me at least.

I was thinking of cutting away all the excess plastic and making some sort of hinged bracket type of thing for the overlay itself...

ron · 2009-01-30 07:24:06

Isn't the overlay more valuable (in a collector's -say eBay- sense) than a (defunct?) breadbox nowadays?!?

Tristan · 2009-01-30 12:08:26

Including P&P?

I got 2 overlays for roughly £5 each... Well, the pair was £9.50 and the P&P was a few £'s.

This guy has a few of them, including the rare 128 overlay:

Typical. I wait ages for one to show up, end up buying two that I don't need, then bleedin' swarms of them show up for less money just to taunt me.

In the meantime I have stuck some sticky pads to the corners of my C64C that kind of almost vaguely hold the keyboard in place. The thing has a tendency to fly off the left hand side if I play with any vigour, though.
