 Keyboard table for in-flight controls. This table contains the internal key
 codes for the flight keys (see page 142 of the "Advanced User Guide for the
 BBC Micro" by Bray, Dickens and Holmes for a list of internal key numbers).
 Keyboard table for in-flight controls. This table contains the internal key
 codes for the flight keys, EOR'd with &FF to invert each bit.

 codes for the flight keys (see page 40 of the "Acorn Electron Advanced User
 Guide" by Holmes and Dickens for a list of internal key numbers).

Code variation 3 of 8A variation in the comments only

This variation is blank in the Master version.

Cassette, Flight, 6502SP, Electron
 The pitch, roll, speed and laser keys (i.e. the seven primary flight
 control keys) have bit 7 set, so they have 128 added to their internal
 values. This doesn't appear to be used anywhere.

Code variation 4 of 8A variation in the comments only

This variation is blank in the Master version.

Cassette, Flight, 6502SP, Electron
 Note that KYTB actually points to the byte before the start of the table, so
 the offset of the first key value is 1 (i.e. KYTB+1), not 0.

 RTS                    \ Return from the subroutine (used as an entry point and
                        \ a fall-through from above)

Code variation 7 of 8Related to the Master version

The Master has a very different set of internal key numbers to the BBC Micro and Electron, so the keyboard lookup table for the Master is also very different; the Electron and BBC Micro are much more similar, but the Electron has no TAB key, so "-" launches an energy bomb instead.
