Dave, which Northgate do you have, and what is the problem? I have one here and aside from setting the dip switches, I haven't done anything hardware-wise. If you want to activate the extra keys, you need a custom keymap, since AmigaDOS knows nothing about the extra scancodes. Download NRTGAT.LZH from lib 8 and have a look. The only problem with it is that the only way to change the keycodes is to change the source code included with it and recompile using an assembler. I set mine up for generating Emacs commands, but you can do almost anything with them. Brian J. Bartlett "Build a better mousetrap, you'll catch a better mouse."
