The cool thing about a nearly-all-things-fpga-retro-machine™ is that you can modify it!

Yep. 🤷‍♂️

And there are indeed people who do just that whenever they get their hands on a piece of hardware that doesn't live up to one or more of its claims. That's what's happened to Dan Sanderson.

Dan is a fast writer, or rather a fast typist. And as happens, when muscle memory is faster than the brain, and fingers are bigger than keyboard-design-standard-experts assume, Dan hits the "CLR HOME" key on his Mega65 too often, while trying to press the non-existent backspace key. 

Outch. 🥴

The solution is close at hand. Why not just modify the modifiable computer? 

In his wonderful article Dan goes into the details of his little adventure, and the result might be interesting for some proud owners of a Mega65. But also for others.
