Yet we can imagine situations where this wouldn't work, can't we? As I mentioned on the beginning - it's a long shot but as long as the pinout and the ROM code are the same - what else? Maybe some I/O port bits (which Jim didn't use)? Somewhere in my collection I have another 6571-036 (same paper sticker), when I find it, I'll try it in the keyboard.
