I've now swapped changed the solder bridges on the board, but not
entirely successfully.

1) It got rid of the annoying 'ANY' key, which is now an Esc key.
2) No UK pound key
3) The backspace key no longer works as a backspace, but instead prints
'\' or, if the shift key is down, it prints '|'. Since the backspace and
the \ keys are of different sizes, it is not as simple as just moving
the key caps.

A few other keys have moved around. Having some old keyboards around, I
can move the key caps so things look right, but it seems the UK and US
keyboards have different layouts of keys, so it is not as simple as just
bridging the connections.


Not to worry. If the Sun dealer gets off his **** and sends me a quote,
I will buy a new type 7 country kit.
