i thought so...it seemed to be appropriate for the
right side keyboard to connect to INPT2, 3 and 5 after

grrrrrrr...i think we need a new stella document.
although the current stella document was nicely
written there are just too many things about the 2600
that the document leaves for interpretation or omits.
i guess this is because its 20 years out of date :)
i think someone oughta write a better one with fewer
errors and more indepth analysis of the many quirks the
2600 has...
