Looking for parts

[Lawrence Archard]

Maplin in the UK still have them listed in their catalogue. Seem to 
remember them being 25-30 pounds each  - which sounds a bit steep. I 
know a 8031 can do a good job of keyboard scanning - I have a friend 
who used one for exactly that, unfortunately for a commercial client 
so I can't get the code for you.
