    Apple II Clone Keeps Repeating Keys - Help?

    i replaced the 74LS273 and the 74LS123 when i had the same issue of it repeating the last key pressed. :) I think the solution was actually the 74LS123 you may want to try that first, if this is a clone keyboard that uses an eprom instead of a keyboard controler chip :)
