Tandy Deskmate
Trying to run Deskmate 1.01 on a Tandy 1000 (original) and it does not recognise the F11/F12 Keys. This cripples the functionality of Deskmate. How can i fix this?

Re: Tandy Deskmate
Having never actually seen a Tandy 1000 in the flesh, I'd always assumed the keyboard was like the XT keyboard in that it didn't go above F10. You learn something new every day!

Re: Tandy Deskmate
Yes, I've had several Tandy 1000s and the F11 and F12 keys were very seldom used because of the non-standard key codes. For the most part, the Tandy keyboard was treated as an XT keyboard by software makers with the exception of Tandy themselves.

If it helps, here are the scan codes for those two keys:
Code: Select all
Scan Kybd
Code Legend normal shift ctrl alt
59 F11 x98 xa2 xac xb6
5a F12 x99 xa3 xad xb7
