Trying to fix several issues:
-- strange issues with imaged floppies not working in LinApple or also
+- the keyboard beeps and issues '=' and '/' characters when connected
+ to a longer serial cable, no problems when connecting the botched
+ wire from the old connector on the keyboard PCB directly to the
+ computer. Some shielding or capacitance issue? It also appeared
+ only after playing with the paddle connectors.
+- the new paddle connector with DIN-5 connectors works somewhat with
+ paddle 0, though the nob is not totally up when on 255. This indicates
+ again a capacitance issue, probably with the cable itself?
+- two new teac drives turned out to have the very wrong connector for
+ an Apple \]\[ disk controller, some adapted has to be designed and
+ a PCB has to be printed.
+- strange issues with floppy images not working in LinApple or also
not on the real computer, always bailing out in the monitor in strange
locations. Used Fluxengine and ADTPro to get images, they are identical.
Checked the RAM of the machine, no errors. Must investigate if boot
