It has never emitted any scan code on any Mac with an
ADB keyboard. Its state is kept internally.
What I'd like, but I don't have a new PowerBook, is to
make fn modify the trackpad behaviour to a scrollwheel.
There is a small MacOS X application that does
this and it's quite nifty.
Of course, people with a newer PowerBook would not
care, they just use two fingers...

Some overeager PC-only hacker that believes that god intended
all processors to be x86-compatible :-(. 0303 is Open Firmware
signature, meaning that the ROM contains FCode AFAIR; 0xaa55 is
for PC Bioses, implying binary x86 code.

No idea either, but I'd bet that it is harmless.
