I am considering making a new mebrane keyboard for a different
computer (TS1000) and wonder how did Atari handle the space bar on the
400? Is there multiple contacts or is there a long contact?
On a standard size key you can have a single contact in the center and
it would work, but how about the space bar? Is there a "sweet spot" on
the space bar where it works and on another where it doesnt?
