My greeting Alex,
I think there are many keyboards with rollover, some of them may be very cheap
as they are not True n-rollover keyboards but still can handle the six and even
eight keys of braille very well. my keyboard was really cheap and is made in
china. its brand is called "extreme". i do not know if you would find it in
your country or not.
In any case here is some websites to help you, the first is a website to
download a testing program and the second website contains a list of high-end
keyboards that do have n-rollover feature:
http://www.braille2000.com/brl2000/KeyboardReq.htm
http://www.braille-pokadot.com/keyboard.html
Also did you tried other six-key combinations, in another row, as my laptop has
exactly the same problem and was only able to handle four keys of SDF JKL but
when i tried pressing YTR UIO it handled all the six keys well. i know the
position of this keys will not be as comfortable as the original keys but they
provide a fast solution.
About the price of the program, it is $40 for one copy and $66 for two copies.
there is a full information about the price on the Program's website:

hope i have give you all the info you wanted.
hope you the best.

correctly, even an "er" sign, but I cannot get a p to come out.
It keeps turning into an s. Now, suddenly, these keys are not
working again and often only 2 will work at a time. How easy is
it to find a keyboard with the rollover this program needs, and
how much will it cost? Again, how much is the actual program?
Thanks.
Have a great day,
Alex

>Hi Alex,

letters appear in each time or not.

this option allows you to defin any other six keys for braille
writing. you will first try to find other six keys that can work
simultaneously. to do so open notepad again and try pressing any
six keys in the first row, then in the second and the third row
untill you see that all six keys were displayed.
>for my laptop the working keys were (YTR UIO), you may consider
trying them.
