I have an Atari 800 that I'm using for parts because it has no sound and acted as though the space bar was always pressed down. I needed a POKEY for my Cuttle Cart 2, so I harvested the one from the 800. The CC2 wouldn't work after I installed the POKEY but worked fine after I removed it.
I went to Wikipedia and read that the POKEY is also responsible for scanning the keyboard.
Is it possible that the bad POKEY was causing the space bar issue? I read elsewhere that many 800s had bad space bars because Defender players used it so ofter for hyperspace. Thanks for any advice.
