       What about the normal 88 key keyboard (as I'm using)? Or 
the normal 104-key keyboard that's so popular in non-US 
countries?
       The table is widely distributed. e.g.:

and several other representations are at

       Being strict, even that table isn't correct - ASCII was 
originally only UPPER CASE, so you could drop the bottom line and 
a fair bit of the punctuation.
