Right, but the important question is will it still be a "PC" keyboard? If the "PC" keyboard goes in via USB, it's either a "PC" keyboard on x86, an "ADB" keyboard on PPC, or Non-existant on other arches (tho I suspect a similar translation-style to other arches). As for the few models of PPC hardware which can take a PS/2 style keyboard directly, I _think_ they do stay the same, keycode wise. So, my point, and I think there was one in there, is to be careful how you label 'em. It's only the type of keyboard it says, if it's not being adapted somehow. --- Tom Rini (TR1265) http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/
