Macintosh 512ke with British keyboard layout
Posted by: Aektann on 2022-08-06 11:45:21 Recently I’ve got international version of Macintosh 512k Extended with the original keyboard. Keyboard has a British keys layout. Booting original System 1-4 I checked key mapping using the Key caps accessory and found that the period key and several others are mapped wrong. However under System 6 all of them work correctly. My question is: should I look for GB edition of early System 1 - 4 or there’s a tweak for changing keyboard layouts in original US system software?

The system on the disk is 6.0.4 so you could boot from that if your setup is suitable. The localisation is for System 6 and 7. The disk may not be an original copy. DL #2 contains v. macintoshgarden.org Or this Mac System Software 0.1 (System 1.1, Finder 1.1g May 1984) BRITISH - Macintosh Garden British version of Mac System Software for 128K Mac 11/12/2021: Added DSK format for those having trouble with the IMG file. —JDW macintoshgarden.org
