That still leaves the problem of newer Apple machines with USB as the only
keyboard interface. That is, assuming the USB keyboard map differes from
the ADB keyboard maps enough to create a problem. From what I gathered on
c.o.l.powerpc (discussions on Rev. D or AV iMacs) there seems to be a
problem.

Looks like a generic USB section would be helpful (there's more and more
Intel machines with USB now, and not having to reboot the computer after
unplugging the keyboard seems to be a Good Thing).
