+Some keyboards natively produce +Set 3 scancodes. +When connected to a PC one will by default see translated Set 3 scancodes. +This means that the F9 and F10 keys have make codes 60 and 61 +and break codes e0 and e1. Thus, these latter codes are +ordinary key release codes here, not protocol codes. +
The N-nnn type numbers indicate the number nnn of keys the keyboard has. +
+
Benjamin Carter <bcarter@ultra5.cs.umr.edu> reports:
+
I recently came into possession of a 97-key keyboard with Japanese
+markings on the keys. (The keys also have the standard
+qwerty-characters on them, with the exception of some of the meta-keys
+(there are 3 keys near the Alt keys on either side of the spacebar with
+only Japanese characters on them so I don't know what they are).
+In any case, the keyboard sends out scancodes that work for all the main
+keys (backspace, letters and numbers, enter, shift), but the numeric
+keypad, Alt keys, and function keys don't work.
+I have run the board through showkey -s, so I know what
+scancodes this keyboard sends out.
+However, the F9 and F10 keys send out 60 and 61,
+respectively, so their key release events send out e0
+and e1, confusing the keyboard driver.
+
(Compare this with the +table +giving the translated Set 3 scancodes. The reported codes are +almost identical.) +

There are more keyboards that do not use e0 as escape code.
+For example, Paul Schulz <pauls@caemrad.com.au>
+reports the same for Sun Type 5 Keyboard with PS/2 connector,
+NCD model N-123NA. The scancodes are very similar to those given above:

Don Christensen reports that his NCD N-123UX keyboard +returns scancode Set 3. +
+
David Monro reports: I have a PS/2 keyboard, an NCD N-97, +which shipped with some NCD X terminals and also with some Mips +workstations IIRC. This keyboard returns Set 3 keycodes +even when its told to be in Set 2. In particular, the release +codes for F9 and F10 are e0 and e1. +The +keyboard ID is ab 85. +
+

NCD keyboards are often used with NCD X terminals. +Here the key combinations to get into the boot monitor. +
