I hacked an old keyboard from my p.o.s. 286 and it seems to work great but I have a question. If when testing the keyboard out with keyhook, keyscan etc... would a ghost key show up??

i.e. if ghosting was occurring by holding down a,b,c and the ghost key is d, would it show up as pressed in these programs??

if so, then I think I'm fine, cuz they never did.

I just found 16 keys I can press at once, 4 of which have alternates and made sure all alternates worked with all other buttons. (i have basically a street fighter setup)

I am soon going to put up a page about my cabinet (pagoda).

thanks to all for help.
