The problems I am still having with Coco Keys2USB with the RSDOS keymap
chosen in Vcc are 1. The [Ctrl -] combo is not making an underscore and
and the Arrow keys do not work in OS9 also since keymaps cannot be 
changed
on the fly I can't just switch back and forth between OS9 and RS-DOS 
keymaps
depending on what I need at the time, even If I could It would be a 
hassel.
