Question on hooking up the Shiftkey Lowercase Mod for the II+

Here are 4 ways. I think that either of the first two are the best.

• The best way might be to have a separate little board with another 16-pin game port for the joystick. You'd have a 16-pin ribbon going to the board with the other game port. A wire with a small alligator clip could be connected to the wire that is connected to Pin #4 (Pushbutton 2.)
  
• Doing the same thing, perhaps instead with some kind of piggy back connector on the game port would work too.
  
• I've seen the the shift key modification wire soldered on the underside of the mother board. I think that this makes it difficult to remove.
  
• I had a wire stuck in Pin #4 with an alligator clip attached to the shift key pin. When I wanted to play a game, I would remove the shift key mod and plug in the joystick or paddles. When I wanted the shift key mod back, I would remove the joystick or paddles and stick the wire back in Pin #4. This was a flimsy setup.
  

How about using 2 16 pin sockets , the first one would have the wire soldered to pin #4 of the 16 pin socket , then the socket would plug into another 16 pin socket , this way it makes for a clean install , and hopefully it would stay rather secure in the original joystick socket?

3 16 pin sockets might be ideal:
2 16 pin sockets for 2 joysticks, and
an extra socket to do other stuff with:
shift key modification

it turns out that in Apple Writer ][ I still get shift key operation with out any wires to install! Just pressing Shift/Esc gets me to use Upper case and so on! Plus it lets me use the extra characters as well!
