We are in the midst of changing the bottom half of the XO-1/XO-1.5<br>
laptop to greatly improve the repairability of the keyboard. The new<br>
keyboards will be removable after first unscrewing a screw underneath<br>
each battery latch. At the same time, a non-membrane keyboard<br>
will be available for use with the laptop.<br>
<br>
The following are the keyboard layouts and legends for these<br>
new keyboards. Much thanks to Walter Bender for developing<br>
these given a bad set of constraints.<br>

</blockquote></div><div><br></div>Hi,<div><br></div><div>does that mean that XO-1s are still being produced and the production lines will be updated to include the new bottom half? Or is only going to produce new XO-1 bottom halfs as spare / replacement parts for deployments?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Any ideas whether the non-membrane keyboard will be available in single quantities (via ilovemyxo for example) so people who aren't too confident about their Dremel skills can also upgrade their XO-1 / XO-1.5s (I'm mainly thinking abotu G1G1 donors here).</div>
