[Coco] Coco KB membrane replacement

[Salvador Garcia]

This brings up a question that I have.
Is the membrane being discussed here specifically for one or more models of the CoCo?
Can I use the same keyboard for the CoCo 1, 2 and 3, or are these different? If different, can an adapter be used? From reading the list, I have the impression that the CoCo 1 and 2 KBs are the same, but the CoCo 3's is different.
Thanks! Salvador

Hi, I think I have a membrane for the cc3, from a keyboard that went bad. Need to find it though and then you can have it, I do not need it anymore.

anyone in the UK who would be willing to lend the membrane?

The other option would indeed be to go for a longer term PCB solution -
something similar has been done for the ZX Spectrum - no idea how well
it would work on the Coco - see
