I purchased Radio Shack's replacement keyboard for my D revision Color Computer. I received a keyboard and a handful of parts, no instructions.

Article
I'm planning to build the 64K upgrade that appeared in the October, 1983 issue of The Color Computer Magazine, for my revision D board computer. In the article it states that the ROM must be changed because it isn’t a 1.1. However, trying EXEC 41175 indicates I have a 1.1 ROM. Do I still have to change ROMs, and what does this number indicate?
Mark Patrick
W. Carrollton, OH
No, you don’t need to change ROMs. The 1.1
ROMs correct several minor bugs present in the
original 1.0 ROM and allow the computer to address more than just 16K of RAM.
I have the old grey Color Computer with 64K
upgrade, HJL keyboard, and Green Mountain Micro
Lowerkit II. I'm having space trouble with the internal modem. With the Lowerkit installed there isn’t enough room for the two micro-mini switches to clear the RF shield. A schematic of the Modem I would be most helpful, but if that’s not available could you label all terminals of S-1 (modem) and the installed
micro-mini switches?

Your letter is very confusing! l can’t find anything about an internally installed modem for the Color Computer. And the Modem I from Radio Shack (26-1175) is an external modem that you connect to the Color Computer via the serial port. (Please, when requesting help, include all the information you have on the hardware you’re writing about. If I don’t know
what the hardware is, I can’t help.)
In any case, I suggest you contact Green Mountain Micro and see if they have any suggestions to make the device fit around their Lowerkit II.
I purchased Radio Shack's replacement keyboard for my D revision Color Computer. I received a keyboard and a handful of parts, no instructions. My friendly dealer said Radio Shack would be glad to install the keyboard, but because I have heavily modified my unit, I would prefer not to do that.
