You have a patch. Great :) Could you reply with the patch. Thank you
very much.
As for keyboards using Vojtech's input devices we support multiple
keyboards via USB. Also you can do what I have. Plug one ps/2 into the
ps/2 keyboard port and another one into the ps/2 mouse port. Then you can
attached a sun keyboard via the parrallel port. I have the sun keyboard
but you need to build the adapter yourself which I haven't done yet.
Q: Why did they deprecate a.out support in linux?
A: Because a nasty coff is bad for your elf.
