Is a capacitor necessary for that? I thought that just pulling the right pin
to ground was enough. Not that I'm gonna go out and make one anytime soon :)

They are all gone. The few that are still out there are all that's left. I
have a few male and possible one female connector around.

Nope. On your 2000 or 2100, behind where the screen door clips on, there is
a plastic knockout right by the seam between the case halves near the power
switch. Presumably this was for some kind of keyboard or buttons that would
be integrated into the screen door. I don't know if there was ever even a
prototype of it.
