Sixten,

I would love that info also. Also been
playing mine for ten years.
Great keyboard when it works right.

Hi all,

I was glad that I had found the info.  After all these years it's still on 
the web.
I'll advise you to make a printout, and take it to the store where you 
bought your vfx.

After I got my vfx back I could see and feel they replaced (yes, replaced!) 
the whole keyboard by a new one.

to view the whole website :
http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~mccreary/vfx/

and here's the page about the calibration error :
http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~mccreary/vfx/#kbd_fix

Hope this helps.
Good luck

Sixten
