Wow, thanks for the advice. I was using a CD32 competition pro pad in the port. I just unplugged it and everything works fine again (somehow it did work fine for a while the pad plugged in yesterday). Well, I won't use that pad again -- hopefully no trouble with other joysticks.

Suddenly, a group of keys (letters) has stopped working on my C128D keyboard. However, they sort of work with the shift key on. Actually, they double print when I have the shift key on. Anyone have a clue what has happened to my beloved C128D tonight? I probably won't sleep all night.

Will a standard DB9/DB9 serial(?) cable work for 80 column mode on a 1084S-D1 monitor?
If not, is there a good source for RGBI cables at this time? I could also use a DB9/DIN cable for my other monitor (I don't have one of those cables either.)

I gather that this is the best C128 forum, but what is the best/most popular C64 forum, please?

I looked at the definitive book list. Any opinions about which ones are the absolute best?

What is the best way for me to diagnose the problem, given that there are a number of possibilities? Thanks.
First try a drive cleaning kit if you have one. If you don't have one, rubbing alcohol and a q-tip will work but you will have to open the drive to get to the head. The 1571D drive in my 128T throws fits if I try to use a highly degraded old floppy. If I clean the head, it works again.
I'd recommend a 1541 for trying to read failing old floppies.
Wow, thanks. To my surprise, the cleaning kit actually did the trick! Before using it, the drive was making so much noise that I was sure it had to be something more serious. But it's back up and working once again.

Four out of the five D's I've had have all had floppy failure (all fixable though) - most common problem I have with my Commie machines.

It was working well. The last program successfully loaded was Fight Night (in 64 mode, of course). Now the drive won't load a single thing. It tries, but to no avail. Any thoughts/ideas? Thanks.

Also, The Elite Accountant for the C128 in 40- or 80-column mode.
